Does anyone have a property manager they recommend in the area? 

Evict them and eat the cost.

You said it cost more to transfer from personal to LLC after the sale. 

Needing costly maintenance after dealing with break ins, in-consistent tenants, and no one wanting to manage your property.My team and I, have created a graded map on all major cities in Ohio.

So it essentially increases the cost to the buyers by 2%? 

We have access to personal capital through equity and recently offered on a boutique motel that we were going to manage initially, but couldn't come to agreement with the sellers. 

You would be exposed to doing work without a permit, the cost of the actual permit and, worst case, having to rip it all out and have a licensed plumber/electrician do it again.I've heard most municipalities around my area no longer charge the work without a permit fine.

And cover the closing costs.
