@Holly NoleIm trying to figure out what is the real problem here you stated the PM has been managing  your property for years and the only conflict you have is the husband doing the maintenance/work orders??

I feel like I should at least be making some cash flow, but after the mortgages are paid, PM collects her fee (8%) and any repairs,maintenance, taxes or insurance are paid, I'm left with no extra income. something seems amiss here and when I ask PM she says this is normal and to be expected the first few years of owning rental property.

Thanks to reading material on BP, I'm renting out the condo from 2013 - 2016 to some ideal long-term tenants, and make about $100 in positive cashflow every month (my primary purpose was just to have them cover the condo mortgage + insurance + property taxes + HOA dues + maintenance costs until the condo appreciated enough with the recovering market to sell for a profit).

The board has in house counsel (no legal matters to attend to), and manages the bidding for new maintenance contracts.

I like the idea behind the ductless systems but am worried about the quality, ease of installation and maintenance.

Who pays for maintenance and utilities?

.), you would need cleaning people, and I think you would hire maintenance people as it happened, rather than keep someone on the clock when there is no work to be done.

Lastly, make sure the tenant buyer in a residence is not responsible for maintenance or, in fact, anything that puts a requirement on them to perform, that is contrary to what an option is.

I want to have the trees removed just for preventative maintenance and change out the heat pump.
