Presently I do have a franchise commercial RE broker (NAI) but I do not feel he is hustling for the $80k commission he is contracted to receive for just marketing my property on their website and told me he made some phone calls.

Feel free to message me if you want to chat further. 

Especially for STR, you could literally put a sofa bed in the living room and accommodate extra guests (before you all scream, this is fairly common even in high end STRs and I've never heard of complaints, but feel free to cite other experiences).

I have some tenants that what distance from us as their landlords--they truly want to feel like this is their space, and thus they want to do everything on their own. 

I've spent a lot of time researching rental properties and was comfortable with that strategy, but since nothing pencils and I'm pivoting a bit at least to get started, I feel like I'm starting over before I even began. 

Hope this all helps, if you have any questions feel free to message me. 

Quote from @Martin Brown: It's totally normal to feel cautious about sharing your building plans, especially when cost and competition are involved.

You kind of have to get a feel of that environment.

If you feel your assessment is too high, you have the right to contest it.

If you have "high-end" units where you feel a disposal is a MUST for your prospective tenants then perhaps it is worth it.One way to keep the costs down is to inform the tenant that if they jamb the disposal or if a foreign object is found at time of service then they will eat the cost.
