On the advice of the fireplace guy who did our last cleaning/inspection, we sanded down the brick inside and painted it with the high heat black paint, and it states in the lease that they may use a fireplace-style candelabra if they'd like, but any other use will trigger all the rules in the Fireplace Addendum.   

Negative $700/month doesn't put a dent into our household free cash flow and that allows us to buy properties that appreciate rather than cash flow. 

The story behind Rommel here is that he was in a very abusive household with some bad guys.

Please do and let me know which style performs the best.

I'd recommend interviewing multiple PM's and seeing which one fits your style and expectations.

Quote from @Dustin Tucker: I'm going to go out on a limb, and say the dumb money keeps buying treasuries like they are going out of style, which continues to push the rate lower. 

What is not helpful is the assumption that some responders made that the root cause is the PM's communication style was not to my "liking".

As said, just as 1 example, Twin Cities MSA median household income is dang near on par with CA's.

Once you have enough properties to support your life style, what is the point of acquiring more?

Your tenants who faced with an already tight household budget may decide to rig the issue instead of fixing it properly.
