@Bryan HartlenManaging low-end properties can be demanding due to higher tenant turnover, increased maintenance needs, and frequent rent collection issues.

A lot of maintenance issues are repeated again and again on all the properties a PMC manages.So, a PMC has pretty good idea of what many issues cost.

Within a residence there is a presumed right to privacy and installing cameras by you or your tenants can bring you legal issues.  

Renovations were quite a bit more than we had expected due to more issues than we were aware of.

I say to look at these hard because these items can occur for a period of 12 months possibly without major issues of seeing large cracks or settling if a lot of water hasn't been present in large volumes.

I'm also having issue with no onsite manager, but in regards to insurance. 

They were abandoned and needed significant work which wasn't a huge issue but in terms of HUD owned properties i heard there can be significant processing periods.

If the commercial space isn't too disruptive, you shouldn't have an issue renting an ADU up there.

And not being able to issue the deposit refund via Avail was the final straw for me.

Assuming they are professional and skilled in the craft - alot of the issues you have faced, they will remediate and mitigate moving forward.
