I also look at craigslist, auction.com and communicate with a local REI group via MeetUp. 

That way it takes all guilt off of you  You are being upfront, honest and communicated your concerns and needs. 

I had 38 communications, 12 showings and 3 applications, 1 of which wants to purchase it and not rent it.

I’m looking for one who communicates and moves fast.

The right PM will have ability to share with you reports and data to include total nights rented, and other reports plus you should have access to view communications if you want.

Most months I spend maybe 1-2 hours communicating with tenants, making calls, or arranging maintenance.The most agonizing piece will be doing the showings to future tenants.

I'm happy to put $10-$50k into each deal but would rather do it through something with an online portal rather than find individuals to partner with.The benefits of online funds would be ease of communication, deal flow, lower minimums, easier to vet with more eyeballs, more diversification, etc.Ideal Investment:I invest $10k-$50k into a deal.The property is Bought, Renovated, Rented out and Refinanced.I get back all or most of my $10k-$50k.I keep the monthly cash flow. 

But communicate that you are aware of their time.

Less objectionable is to put a notice on the door that due to lost communication, you will use your key in 24 hours.
