Subsequently this allow me to charge a little bit higher for rent.

@Miguel Nava I'm not sure but is it anything like the trash service out here where you can charge the tenant for it but if they don't pay it gets added to the property tax bill?

We have looked into Evolve (would like a little more on the management side of things) and Vacasa (poor reviews/very high booking fee charged to our guests) but are wondering if there is a better local option.  

They are going to charge you hourly but if the job isn’t too big and you provide the fixtures, you can get the work done quickly for not too much more.

@Joseph McKinney This is one of those emotional topics that are sometimes hard to overcome with facts and numbers.

So let them do what they can and charge them less for the part you help them with.

They allow you to provide them with custom field criteria (i.e absentee owners, 50%+ equity, owned for 5 years +, 2-4 units) then charge you a small price per contact.

They charge approximately 4.5% per purchase, which isn't huge, but isn't insignificant.

Here the only way to collect any fees in court is really charging them as rent. 

This also gives you the option to flip income to your wife at a later time if you want her to have higher income to qualify for a mortgage when you're tapped out (not tax savings but good to have the holding LLC).You can also have your tax bill charged to the holding LLC for a portion which is tax deductible while your 1040 tax prep fees are no longer deductible with tax reform.
