We are in a similar position, and the last flip we did, we put everything cosmetic under a contractor we work with regularly (CR-61/$50k) who was on the job.

And to give you some context on how "rich" the PMs are getting, in case you are wondering for your own PM business, the margins in this business are incredibly slim: We had about $1.3 million in rental revenues last year, and yours truly bagged all of $32K. 

In fact there is absolutely nothing wrong with the above described technique as long as it's fully disclosed and UNDERSTOOD by all parties.John is "disgraced" because he got involved as front man with a Salt Lake City real estate marketing firm that promoted John all over late Nate TV back around 1998 - 2003.  

Doors (or clients) that require extensive and constant attention from my staff are not long for this world and will be cut loose.As @Richard F. mentioned, clients fall into those two categories (micromanaging, time-sucking parasites who place zero value on the value of your time, or the "don't bother me unless the house burned down" clients).

For example, I often see Buyers purchase property thinking there is a $1,000 deposit but then the tenant claims it was $2,000 because they paid the last month's rent.
