Also, I closed out of state for my FHA loan and it was fairly easy for me.

You can buy a heater element fairly cheap online.

If you don't have the cash for your skin-in-the-game, you will not find a REAL hard money lender that will put up all the funds.  

If I was to find a multifamily deal that I did not want to syndicate, but instead, flip to another group who wanted to, what compensation should be considered fair for finding the deal and letting them take over?

I am fairly new also and have already learned quite a but just by reading everything in the forum.  

Like @Matt Owen, I'm also fairly new but feel like I have already learned quite a bit from BP.  

Looking for some advice...I am fairly new and wanting to create steady passive income the best way I can via rentals and I thought turnkey...When doing the turnkey thing its very hard to find a company that provides built in appreciation when they sell to you.  

With the info you've shared, I'm in the camp of giving them notice that you are ending their tenancy at the end of the lease.If you are not going to hire a local PM, see if you can distance yourself a bit emotionally - sounds like they have gotten under your skin if they have damaged your property and what really bugs you is their asking for their check back.  

We double checked the market rents in the area, and am fairly confident we can create what we need in income from the rents.

To be fair, I bought and rehabbed this HUD Home for about $20K under it’s ARV, which is why the profit is so huge.
