I found similar patterns between all 5 companies: namely, they had taken on too many units, were over-charging me for things I didn't need, and weren't handling issues correctly (they would send out vendors who didn't know what they were doing, mis-diagnose issues etc.)No disrespect to the PMs on this chain or BP in general, but any third-party manager won't perform exactly the way you would like them to simply because of the constraints they are faced with as far as having so many units and owners to keep tabs on. 

They billed us or overcharged us tohelp them have an income.

Their platform is very glitchy and they overcharge for posting on Zillow/Trulia. 

If they refund me what they overcharged me.

Otherwise, you're just dumb money from NY that they are going to overcharge.

Including being affiliated with the same company they both funnel students to in order to overcharge them for services they don't need. 

I don't overcharge but I stay competitive.No ID verification.

I talked to numerous California investors in real life and phone/Zoom calls who have lost money in far away OOS markets, mostly Midwest markets (e.g. repairs, capital expenses, bad tenants, properties vandalized while under renovation, evicted tenant stole all the appliances, property managers with high fees or overcharging for repairs).

I'm interested if my experience is unique or if others have experienced what seems to be overcharging and price gouging.

They tend to overcharge for rehab and/or overvalue the properties they find investors and then overpromise on the rents they can get.
