In my example, the public adjuster is looking at what you are insured for and making sure you are paid WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PAID.If you insured a Picasso painting for $1 million dollars because that was its value you would expect to receive $1 million if it was destroyed!

Also, Fresno, CA is in the top 10% of US housing markets for appreciation, at ~9% annually over past 10 years and expected to continue given the growth we have seen here, proximity to big cities in CA, cost of living relative to the big cities, high-speed rail to LA stopping here when complete, etc.

@Michael CliffordRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

It is a noble cause and one that can certainly be balanced, but it takes effort, and at some point, there will be a point where these tenants of yours may start to expect something that costs you real money and isn't necessary to provide them quality housing.

In particular, purchase price and expected rent.  

The problems with texting is people expect immediacy.

If you are doing this part-time, set your expectations correctly.
