It seems to me that 3bed/2bath homes are a requirement to to reduce vacancies (buy and hold) and holding costs (flip) in that area, plus the school ratings are decent.

@Emilio Basa I have family who just moved to Detroit so I would be using them to handle the deals for me while I’m here in Pittsburgh.

One full time guy can handle 30 with occasional outside help.

I appreciate the honest questions and hope I gave a realistic and somewhat thought out response on how I’d personally handle those potential challenges. 

You may have options for reducing your taxes that aren't apparent from your post.

It's a tough business, and sometimes they bring on more clients/units than they can handle so there are "growing pains" as they adapt their systems.There's an old saying, "a farmer's shadow is the best fertilizer" and I think it's true of property management.

Any advice on how to handle and is the lease enforceable.

If you have others ways to boost monthly income (pet fee, garage fee, storage area fee, etc) it can reduce the other costs you mentioned.

The goal of investing is to reduce your risks as much as possible.

If I go this route, I'll have my plumber handle it.
