Situation:Have a family that is going thru a DIVORCE and that owns a $2M+ valued home.

Is there a way to analyze the owner's statement so that I can challenge the property manager, aside from gaining all the experience with "reasonable" costs myself so that I could analyze on my own? 

Another option is to invest in Salt Lake City, Utah because my best friend lives there and owns his own Property Management company.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

you can go to your insurance claims agent (the claims person that you talked to on the phone and has probably sent you 10 emails)  you need to file an addendum to your claim as you need more money from your policy to repair the property. 

I don’t own anything in Arizona, and just looked up the related laws: https://www.azleg.gov/ars/33/01321.htm.It sounds like you may be familiar with them, as you did what’s expected by the letter of the law.

If you have ample time and want to be hands-on, I’d recommend choosing a market that interests you and building a team—including an agent, contractors, and a management company—to support you throughout the process.However, if you’re busy and don’t have the time to manage all these aspects, turnkey options might be a better fit.

Except for contracts that specify that and violations of specific laws that allow for that for the most part people end up paying their own legal fees.

PIN has excellent Everything reports that bank appraisers do use to assess the value of a property but you're better off working with agents in those markets and getting free current market analysis reports.
