@tim davis should be able to assist you

Liz Bobeck Realtor, my wife, has worked with Jamie to assist people with renovation loans and he has been great to work with in Jacksonville. 

The house is historic and beautifully maintained. 

Alex,These can be maintained every 6 months, but if you do it every 3 then keep with that schedule. these units have small thin filters over the vent ( like window a/c units) they can be either cleaned or replaced.

Have you contacted someone local from the area to assist you?

You can bill him for clean up costs if you hire a contractor but not the gardens if you did not send him notices to maintain the property during their stay.

I do not mind paying for a level of assistance but I see using a full time manager limiting my chances for a profitable property.

It has been difficult with having my own business and HR consulting outsourcing plus doing the real estate and maintaining a wife and daughter happy.

He also will tell me when the thinks I should take a different approach or am wrong, and I listen.So, the things I'd draw from this are, setting clear expectations with the landlords you work with, and maintaining a good rapport with tenants (that does reduce vacancy rates and people moving out, in my view), and being willing to go the extra mile (within reason).
