Quote from @Liz Zack: I would reach out to some local realtors and property managers along with GCs to see if they have someone they recommend.

Does anyone know of any managers or management companies that are actually reasonably priced in the Metro? 

We've got experience managing well over 1,000 different rentals in Cincinnati. 

Get a property management system that is API connected (software connected) to both Airbnb and VRBO (and Google Vacation, booking.com, etc)That will become the mitochondria of the business. any update you make in the PMS will reflect in your listing for the other platforms (channel manager).Each of the booking platforms have different fees collected so you'll adjust the management fee in the system so that you get a similar payout.I use JURNY, a little known system that's I've used for 2 years to manage nearly 20 properties. but I love it because it connects to Autohost so I get automated leases sent out for signature (yes, even on Airbnb and VRBO) along with ID collection, SELFIE, credit card deposit and then the AI tool kicks in and detects for fraud. 

Lori and I meet the  criteria.  

I love Indo and I loved living there, but we haven't done anything there in about 10 years. 

You can start by going to www.narpm.org and search their directory of managers.

Might be worth you looking into if you want access to something that's affordable ($5/month per unit), has lots of features that I've really liked, and more - especially if you’re unhappy with some of the tools or processes you’re using today with managing your property. 

Quote from @Sabian Ripplinger: with managing 5 to 20 properties, what is the best platform or strategy to use to streamline everything? 

There are many posts on BiggerPockets about landlord software, but here’s a consolidated overview.Must-have features landlords mention most often: online payments, full accounting, 1099 tracking and e-filing, tenant portal, owner portal (if you manage for others), work order tracking, vacancy syndication, online leases, and tenant screening.
