A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

Will just help you out as you shop around.Final note: if you liked working with this PM (other than the lack of communication on maintenance), maybe ask them for quarterly pics/etc of different parts of the property in order to find a solution to this issue for the future.

They can barley scrape up a downpayment let alone any commission...This "news" really just protects the rich more than anything. 

Another good whiskey is John Rich's Redneck Riviera.

Common complaints I hear is timeliness of communication, but it doesn't seem to be from everyone.

We've had to keep extending closing for weeks because his communication is almost non-existent.

If the tenants pay rent on time, communication is good, and the property isn't torn up offer the MTM rent and keep the boat sailing. 

if you have haven’t read “rich dad poor dad” you should do so for the encouragement it will give you.  

I am thinking it is better to leave all communication of this problematic tenant to the PM rather than me directly communicating and sending my own contractors to save some money.

I was only thinking of outsourcing written communication through messaging as most of that is general inquires and 90% of those can be pre documented.
