Are there any social media pages they are associated with? 

Accepting even $1 from them could put you in a legal pickle because it looks as if you are still doing business with them.

My sentiments exactly you're on the moneyI feel bad for individual who don't surf social media about companies like this that prey on individual who believe this get rich scam.thanks for your insight.signSign. at your own risk....... . 

@Taylor G.To find investor-friendly agents for house hacking, use BiggerPockets Forums, local meetups, REIA groups, and social media.

So, real estate agents may do it part-time, but rarely do they do it well.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

We are not white knights we are in business to make money on RE  not a charity or social workers.. so we do want to keep this in perspective you did what you needed to do so you could make a profit bottom line.

Oh, and accept the fact that they disregarded the risks and therefore shouldn't be bailed out.
