We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Is this just because it's not accepted practise (ie people aren't in the habit of doing business this way), or because there are obstacles to doing things this way?

Is there some way being licensed could harm my goal of investing?

That way you'll build the habit of simply listening and learning each day.

If they don't like it for any reason within the 7 days, then they can get out of the deal no harm no foul, and their money will be refunded to them.

The strict requirements consist of a credit score minimum of 620, 1yr reserve of mortgage payments, and property must be in habitable condition.

No harm in asking, but I would not be surprised if they held onto it since they would then probably have to find a new place for their daughter.  

I don't wish harm or foul upon anyone, and it pains me to see the financial mistakes that so many people make in their lives.

Where I am at, it is a 24 hour notice to enter unless emergencies, but depending on the issue I wouldn't do that notice unless it will damage the building and harm the tenant.
