These contractors often cost a bit more, but they tend to be more professional across the board because they a) have a bigger carrot at end and b) have better financial management skills.

Hello @Juan Carlos Correa, welcome to BP and congrats on your decision, please keep my profile in mind in case you need anything in Property Management arena 

At this time I manage and renovate majority of all my units to keep cost low but most likely not the best use of my time although I'm skilled at it.

It looks good) I stumbled across someone locally who does it, but I'm sure you could find someone there if you or other out-of-town investors like the idea of paying a bit more for that level of security and obtain a remote monitoring source of the exterior of the properties.

My partner and I are looking to get our next rental (currently have one in a more local market that has a property manager).  

Quote from @James Bing: @Brandon Greenplate Do you manage your STRs in Hilton Head?

If for aging population he might do ranch versus multi level.  

We're self-managing our properties and working over the next few weeks to get them market-ready.

Quickly analyze properties using the 50% rule (assuming half of rent goes to expenses) and verify rental comps on Zillow, Rentometer, or with local property managers.

Confirms my thought process as a Renovation Project Manager- turning Investor.
