I rarely see anyone address the underlying root cause of the issue.

Sometimes it's not the tenant's fault - tree roots, collapsed pipe, old materials from a previous tenant, etc.

What is not helpful is the assumption that some responders made that the root cause is the PM's communication style was not to my "liking".

Thankfully I have no property in NY.I loved this quote which shows just how clueless people are about housing issues:“Housing instability is at the root of so many problems facing our city, such as exacerbating homelessness and hunger, failing to meet our children’s educational needs, and undermining public safety,” said the CWTU in a statement.

I'm looking forward into developing my roots in the community! 

If we tried to plant the whole tree there would not be enough roots to support the leaves.  

My educational background is in science, but my personal background is rooted in the Midwest where I grew up on a farm and gained a skillset in everything mechanical. 

It's of vital importance that you speak with your GP to determine the root cause of the capital call so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not you should provide it. 

As to the quandary posed by the OP: The root of the issue is that it basically sucks to be an RE investor these days.

I am rooting for you.
