I could sell this home, refinance my new home when the Central Florida home sold and plow the equity into the new home to reduce my payment or even pay the home off.

Get a PM that triages repairs at least a little over the phone to reduce site visits, carries simple things like caulk and miscellaneous screws with them to reduce trips to the store and knows not to waste time repairing old fluorescent fixtures for instance or charges $150 a month to collect your laundry change.    

But the offsetting PM expenses can reduce my earned income (in 35+% tax bracket).
