I suggest you book some vacation time.E mails simply get ignored and your PM will manage as he sees fit based on his likely perception that being out of the country there is little you can do except fire him (which only leaves you in the lurch).

@Brian Watkins I tend to think some of the Atlanta zip codes you mention have more of a perception of crime then actually high crime rates. e.g.

In that market, my perception/experience is that, while rental increases are slowing down, there is still red hot demand at the right price point. 

. $2000 repair/ replacement costs.Some issues with loitering+drugs in the front/back: password-protected front gate+installing Ring cameras with lights/sirens+more secure new back entrance mentioned above all helped a lot.Keep on crushing it Vasily Rossokhin

I put my experience vs most people’s perceptions into a blog.  

"this property is in a not-so-great part of town", or "the neighbors have a pit bull that can be intimidating" or "there is a fire station across the street, and we frequently hear fire truck sirens at all hours"). 

Immediately the sirens are going off in my head.

The public's perception is that agents make a killing just by listing a property on the MLS.

Never take their word for it, a sellers perception of necessary repairs and cost is usually way off.

The backyard is an eye sore perception issue so you need to replace dry rot, paint, add drought tolerant or add a deck.If it takes also 60 some days I will be concerned with interest charges etc.
