I would also check to see if there is a local news channel that would be interested in covering a "shady PM company wrongfully tries to evict elderly tenant" story.While there is no legal grounds (based on the limited section you posted) to demand the removal of these fees since they are clearly stated in the contract, chances are good that the company won't want to go through all of the negative publicity and lost business due to poor reviews.  

hard money is a great tool for first time ground up construction 

That being said, you are only as good as your boots on the ground is in any given location.

@Carolyn Mazzola unless I'm missing something, appears you are confusing Property Management Software (PMS) with a Property Management Company (PMC).PMCs employ PMS to better manage properties & tenants.If you invest OOS, who will be your boots on the ground?

I have gotten permits back that i submitted in April and i Just broke ground on my builds last week... sounds like he is making excuses. 

I am also a loan officer so please reach out if you'd like to hit the ground running on your financing.

Ideally, the right company will handle everything from cleaning and booking management to on-the-ground troubleshooting for guests when needed.
