I also am planning to meet with my PM on Monday to discuss pain points and better expectations, I would love to hear what sort of expectations you set with property managers?

I get the impression they were once a better company but are experiencing growing pains. 

Which is to say any attempts beyond the method of communication in the profile are likely to end up convincing the landlord you and your friend would be a pain in the butt as tenants.
