If you have a higher end rental with expensive blinds, I would offer to put in cheap cordless blinds, and then gauge their reaction. 

My initial reaction, especially based on your desire to cash flow immediately and non confidence in the area, is to pass on this deal, but we can chat more privately. 

Trust me, even some of my best leads said no at this point, it's a knee jerk reaction to a cold call.

Selling should be the last option Like others have said , the PM companies could just be having a knee jerk reaction and telling you to replace a whole roof when you can repair it

It seems like a normal market reaction in a lot of those cities.

I will probably end up paying it, or a portion of it, after speaking with him and his office about the nature of the bill and my reaction to it...and how this might affect our future business transactions.I learned valuable lessons during the closing process of the cheap little house we bought.

(See my reaction just a few weeks ago here.)

Document every action - and any reaction you receive. 

I agree with @Tracy Ross...everyone has different reactions to different levels of mold.

will be their reaction.
