Your just moving around your own existing money.Assuming you don't have a separate LLC or something that you own to which the "management fees" are going.I recommend taking a look at the Form Schedule E.

Basically, I have quite a bit on my plate with my full time job and my side business of Rental properties, I would recommend making a detailed list of everything that needs done on a property, duplicate it for each property, schedule everything out to a T..

I had a unit turn sheet ,, I had maintenance go thru once we got notice, I scheduled the painters, the shampooers and needed expected repair supplies, toilet seats, blinds, or blind slats,, what ever.

Nothing too crazy or fancy- just want to log expenses, income, maybe depreciation schedule, mileage, etc.I'm familiar with Quickbooks of course, but thought you pros might have a better idea.Thanks in advance!

Don't pay the contractor in advance.  25% down is acceptable with phased payments when specific milestones are hit protects you and encourages your contractor to keep on schedule.  

I have never had a job not running over schedule and cost beyond control.

I know the market is hot there but I have not had any bidding wars.. most stuff I sell before completion but offers come in a little under list routinely and we counter to list or higher if they want concessions... ( this of course is new construction infil in the 450 to 650k range there in Charleston)

She was routinely late with the rent from the old owner.

But think of their risks...What else could you or your team focus on if they aren't having to schedule multiple showings a day?

Would love to meet up or schedule a phone call if you are willing to share more on your perspective.
