I am with the guy who says take time to research the properties and if you can't travel then...Portland, Oregon properties generally are over mortgaged if they end up not being sold or are foreclosed prior to any foreclosure tax lien threat (in my opinion).Jeff

Property owners who refused to allow either the rental or point of sale inspection were subject to fines and possible criminal prosecution.The lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of several property owners by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, a non-profit entity, alleged that because the inspections were done under the threat of criminal prosecution, the ordinance violated the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches.

You can threaten them back with threats that you have all the info from the vendors and will report them to the state real estate board and attorney general.Would advise toterminate ASAP and find a new PMC.We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I understand that the threat of bankruptcy may not be imminent anymore, but if the city does file for bankruptcy, does anybody have any idea how this would affect real estate taxes going forward?

Most tenants don't know the process, so they either fear the threat of eviction ruining their ability to get into a new unit, or they make mistakes in the process which allows for it to be expedited.

The threat of withholding rent may get some quicker action. 

You can't go wrong with any of them and they are even having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deal going on.

While these are rare (if the mortgage is being paid), I have seen lenders come after homeowners and force them to transfer the property back to their own names with the threat of foreclosure.

I thought the threat or right the lender had to take the great deal from me would be the security on funding the deal. 

I also wouldn't lose sleep over his threat to lien.
