So far 100% of the time I have gotten tenants to vacate by explaining the consequence without paying $0.01.   

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

The people paying you $10,000 per month to rent your property are doing so because they need or want the use of the property, not because you’re a “people” person.4.

But for a site that small, ESS would give you a website and software and decent price.

They pulled the trigger on getting a house because they found themselves constantly paying for costly hotels when visiting and having to pay both of our rent.

If you are paying cash or seller finance etc, you'll have options. 

My previous bank would pay the taxes and insurance when due and collect those balances equally throughout the year.

I'm not against house hacking, it's just that I was wondering if there was a better option as my family is already willing to invest with me(father is willing to pay 25% for the down payment).

Apartments don't like not knowing when a tenant is leaving, and they definitely make tenants pay for that flexibility.
