Specifically, how do you charge and what pricing is normal in your area?

I am trying to get an escrow anaylsis done once I get the exemption so that I am not over charged by Escrow as I am now.

If they suddenly found themselves with larger than expected/required/needed reserves they would then lower the monthly charges.

Prop Managers are notorious for over charging for everything. 

I got no problem throwing an extra $9,000 charge for that onto all of your turnovers.

If fix the pool, I cannot charge additional rent as I am already capped and I will be stuck with maintenance costs and I can't help but think that if someone drowns in a functioning pool and if it turns out that the landlord could have done "something" whatever that "something" is, he may be on the hook for a major lawsuit.

My first concern is the low monthly charge. 

Most property management companies charge anywhere between 10-35% of your gross revenue.

That places your renewal during warmer months when you can charge higher rents. 

If you find a great deal and can still receive decent returns after common charges/maintenance/HOA fees, I don't see why not.
