Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health) and choose the one that is most “stable” with the best potential for long term tenancy.This advice is contrary to maximization of rental income, but IMO will reduce expenses of tenant turnover, property damage, property management fees so much that the difference in bottom line income will be quite small.  

For example, most anywhere will get $700 room, $75 fixed rate utilities, $700 deposit, and then offer a 36 months, 12 month, or month to month lease ($350 fee if ending lease <90 days). 

Let's use that as an example. 20% down is $43,000 plus lender loan origination fees, closing costs etc is going to push you over $50,000 cash out of pocket.

The pet fee or deposit for the move in of 2 cats (you did charge one, I hope) should have just about covered the extra anyway.

I get the feeling Quest is resigning because there is not enough fee income to be made from me, so I'm being dumped.

There are also companies that will do it for $100-300 flat fee or $30-50/yr.

If you’re considering other custodians, I recommend focusing on those with a strong reputation for consistent customer service, transparent fees, and ease of account management.

There are no taxes, but there are still fees which work just like taxes.

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).
