Lastly, he had a terrible attitude toward our team, but after showing that attitude to our residents when doing work at our occupied houses, we let him go as a vendor on our team.  

If those experts are teams/agents I'd ask if you could connect with a couple of their clients/vendors that are experts on the market as well to get a few opinions.

Same goes for PMs and other vendors as well.

- Are your amenities from local vendors?

Most of my investors are out of state  and I have the knowledge and  vendors to get  the home in rentable condition from major to minor rehab.

Any suggestions on models and vendors.

Locate the clubs website call and speak to the president and any vendors in advance, that will warm your reception up.Consider checking out HUD homes for small multi's owner occupied gets first crack.You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

Talking to vendors and providers, they are getting constant pings from OOS investors like myself.

-Pricing, obviously this is important, you shouldn't be getting charged admin fees, Leasing fees, vendor fees, etc.

I've been deep in conversations and reviews with our own payment vendor lately, they have high restrictions and protections to protect not only us but our clients.Never pick up cash in person.
