From what I have perused, wholesalers have terrible reps for off base numbers in ARV and recovery costs since they hop into it not instructing themselves https://homienjoy.com/6-steps-to-fix-your-flooded-dishwasher/.

If they refuse to leave, hire an attorney and start the eviction process as soon as legally allowed.

If you are not local then you need to have your local rep do this or call/email/text the tenants the same info and drop an actual letter in the mail. 

I would pick the area that you feel most comfortable doing work or that you know the most people that you can easily hire and trust and start BRRRRing.

Would you hire a dedicated property manager or would it be smarter to pay the short term rental cleaners extra to do any small extra tasks needed?

I've done this over a number of years and have now hired and supervise a crew of guys instead of hiring contractors.

We didn't have enough money to hire out tasks, so what should have been done in short order dragged on a few months, and each month costs a mortgage payment. 

Big difference is your only going to get a cease and desist and have to hire an attorney to keep you from further legal harm.

Being an REP shouldn't have an impact on the classification between expense or capitalized expenditure.

You can usually google search people or check court records.Or you can hire a PI too.That said I would be careful with working with under 2M net worth CONtractors and why I like syndications where the people you are working with have skin in the game.
