I just got off a call yesterday with a investor group with a bunch of blue island buildings,  from there experience tenants have been pretty good but the buildings are older and a lot of unexpected problems have arisen so I would say make sure to have a good inspector and some reserves incase work is needed and its a good area to cash flow.

What is so difficult in simple confirming your name, especially when it's so obvious and blatant. 

I believe you keep the reservations, but you must pay Evolve a fee for every reservation made while they were "managing" the property.

My guess is 2 months' worth is to establish reserves, and the rest is prepaids on these.

If they confirm that it's an isolated event, I'd also recommend enabling multi-factor authentication on your account moving forward.

I will have enough reserves to cover the holding costs as well as some left over as emergency funds for the property.

EXAMPLE: college student living with parent(s).Regarding using child support - suggest you follow mortgage requirements:1) Need copy of divorce decree to determine ages of children, so you can confirm how long it will continue.2) Need proof of at least 3-6 months of actual payments, as too many deadbeat dads.

@Shayan Sameer, like Marc notes, confirm funding of HOA and proposed or pending special assessments.  

We have offshored our reservations department and have them assisting with reservations related administrative tasks but I believe you will still be extremely involved in the day to day without a PM company. 

I would love to talk to someone who personally used it just wanting to confirm its legit and all that.
