My structure is very much like you describe: a management LLC that operates the two LLCs, one is a FL LLC for the properties in Florida and the other a TX Series LLC that owns houses in Texas. 

I have a 60 unit storage facility with a U-haul dealer located in Edgefield, SC and I’m considering to get a management company to replace the ESS system i have.

Something tells me you won't be working 4,060 hours to do so - 80 hours a week year round.If it is a more active rental model that it is not considered "rental" income, then you would need to put in at least 100 hours with that being more than anyone else (employees, contractors, management company, etc), or you would need to put in at least 500 hours.So your "quick" question is actually fairly complicated. 

Consider appreciation as well.There is more to consider, such as how you will manage the property, etc.

Would love to connect with investors, lenders, agents, and property managers from the Faribanks/North Pole areas if you're here!

There are pros and cons to each asset class and which one fits with your time and energy in the management.

-What is the price range for property managers and general contactors?

At first walk through when the house was furnished, it looked like an extensive rehab project. 

Hi Jonathan, I own 23 units in the area and manage another 170 for other investors. 

Nearly 20-year property manager here.
