My best understanding from talking to reps is they have one local employee (in addition to vendors like cleaners, landscapers...) per 10 listings/properties. 

Agreeable grey with apartment tan carpet (or pet resistant tan carpet).

I am not sure what the availability of cleaners in that area so I would spend time right now see what is there before committing to a property.Also, if you are spending 2k a year on fixing or replacing stuff, you are getting the wrong guests.

Now your cleaner has 200 hours, and you will have to spend at least 201.

You can take out a lot of complexity when you buy property that only needs maye paint & carpet.

Your partner is right there if you need to fill in for an absent cleaner or resolve a guest issue. 

Your property is fairly destruction proof, costs near nothing to maintain, yet you can charge above market rents.If your property is nicer (class B) where the carpet alone might be $6k or more to replace when the tenant spills hair dye everywhere, you won't be as happy as in the situation above.  

carpet? 

Happy cleaners = happy guests

I started my first year with a 3 day minimum because I couldn't find a cleaner who could do Saturdays, they were all booked up.
