We are hands-on managers--we have our own management company and manage our assets internally, so we have complete control over what is controllable. 

The control board went out on it, just like the control board once went out on a relatively new front load washing machine.

A little background, I was a CFO/Controller for a PM company and have been doing multiple roles for PM companies for 20 years so now I am helping out on the otherside of the PM world.Your PM's financials are Property Accounting.

And I found out some of these GCs were taking 15k+ for doing absolutely nothing and being bad at it.In my Greater Philly network I have @Jeff Henderson who is not only a GC that does the above, but he actually gets in the trenches and works next to his guys which allows for the control over the time and quality that is essential.Don't get caught up on lending terms, I guess is my cautionary tale.
