All pets must be on a leash and walked off property .

I had hoped to set this up with PNC since I bank with them but an in-person visit to the branch is required for set up and this is not possible since I now live in Washington state.

If you are following the rules then everything should be OK.This is no different than a health inspector visiting a restaurant.

You had 3 of your 9 properties changing tenants.

I'm an investor (STR properties), realtor, and own a construction company near Texas A&M in the Bryan / CS area but travel to the 903 frequently to visit family.

Basically - I want a PM who keeps the property in good shape and occupied to get paid, and a PM who is either bad at maintaining properties and finding good tenants, or just really unlucky, to not get paid.- PM charges 8% of rent, which escalates to 10% if the property exceeds 95% occupancy with rent collection. - PM charges minimal fees.- PM is contractually obligated to perform annual maintenance/inspection to keep property in top shape. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

fixed the entire property What was the outcome?

Property values only going up up up for decades. 

It's a house we love and have visited many times.

However, if you feel you need their input earlier, you could offer to pay for their visit to walk the property with you pre-inspection.
