It took about 15k to clean, paint and band-aid the property to the point where we could fire sale it.

The high fire danger probably means California Fair Plan.  

Find out what it costs to fire them (ie break the contract early). 

I would imagine the best actions would be to immediately fire the management company, pass the keys onto a new one, sue the old one in small claims court for the listed damages.

In this market there are cabins on their own land and cabins on leased forest service land.

And that's like pouring gas on your real estate investing camp fire! 

These include accidents (I recently had 2 units destroyed by fire), natural disasters (I have had two units each hit by 2 hurricanes), property management turn over (they sell or stop being as good, I have experienced both), or turn over of team (I am turning over at handyman and I suspect plumber), or just wear n tear of property (slab leak in poor location, sewer pipes rotted out (one unit this month), roof, foundation issue, etc.).  

Strictly cash flow is missing the forest for the trees. 

Otherwise most towns like Roxbury, Landing everytime someone moves in you will need to have the fire department inspect the property so you can get a c of o.

I fire off offers all day long for clients.
