In fact, we ended up paying a bookkeeper $450/month plus the $90 subscription to QB online to manage our relatively small portfolio.

Management fee.

Hi, I'm hitting the sweet spot regarding my property management company. 

Is there unlimited new construction that would drive rents and appreciation down?

Because of the debt payoff increase and the cost to furnish (~20K), my CoC is just 5% now (this is if I keep a management fee of 10%, though I'll be managing the property myself).

Outline a business plan, put up investment criteria, creating financial system and invent property management practices.

I manage my STRs but my cleaners work a lot more hours than I do managing.

I don't have any recommendations for you in those cities however I know that BP just launched a "find a Property Manager" tab in their Build a Team section.

If doing multifamily, would be utilizing Property manager to ensure legal basis is covered.7.

If you tell him to quit you can find someone else but it would certainly be more as contractors dont like to start mid project like that and finish someone elses' work but its best that you have a more constructive conversation with him about his absence.
