I highly recommend!

@Reagan Barron we always recommend partners charge their normal fee structure for their services.It's rare that partners contribute the same amount of time & resources, so that everything is a true "50/50".Charging a fair price for your services is fair to both.

Does anyone have any recommendations for brokerages moving forward?

At the end of the day remember they are the real estate professional, if you don’t agree with the property manager and don’t feel that they are working in your best interest then I would recommend that you terminate the services.  

But, for the sake of the renovation portion I would greatly appreciate the thoughts and opinions of what options you all recommend and what has worked well for you.

The front entry is through 2 locked doors, first door is a buzz/key entry and the second door leading to the upper units is a buzz/key entry as well.Can someone recommend a sturdier product while maintaining the same locked/buzz in secure entry?

In case you plan to do the renovations in the future, it is highly recommended to get them done without a tenant in the property.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I would recommend you read "Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat" by David Greene.
