On the plus side, they do numerous common repairs, but you must read the contract to be sure it is paid for and you can add "extras".   

My closing costs will be roughly $2500 PLUS they are requiring 25% down payment.I have the liquidity to put in the extra 5% and $2500 closing costs, BUT I’m wondering if it’s even worth going through this.

Check to see if they are charging guests extra fees on top of the percentage they charge you. 

I'm not super strong, so I waddle-walk toilets into and out of place, and adding the ring and having to be extra sure I don't gouge it with the bolts (if new) or get it on the floor (if old) is a pain. 

I love that they’re providing extra content for us and I found a market update super helpful as the market is changing so quickly.

I need to make some extra cash, and continue to save to get us a duplex as our second property

(3 bed 1 and a half bath)   I feel like the extra bedroom would equal more rent...  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

-Save extra money-Take advantage of low to zero down mortgages-Make use of your retirement plan-Find a roommate-Cut back on non-essentialsWhich one(s) have you implemented?

I have brand new tenants who apparently snuck in an extra cat.
