If you can't shake the vibe, then a PM will save you money in the long run.  

I can see that happening unless there is a shake up in the presidential election. 7.

And yes, it's a shake-down LOL.  

Raise the rent $100 and shake it up.  

Or would you recommend waiting until things shake out and return to somewhat normal in the lending world before getting the rehab loan?

These laws do nothing but punish the law-abiding "good" landlords by shaking them down for annual fees, wasted time, and unnecessary expenses.

I mean it’s year 2020 family fun, 2 kids playing their iPads with their headphones on lying on the kitchen floor, @karenhiggins reading what I can only guess is a romance novel, and I’m drinking water trying to shake a Friday night of beer and video games.

They are trying to make their problem - your problem.Just keep shaking your head and saying noncommittal things like, "Wow, that really is a shame."  

And part of me can't shake the feeling that if this house really was that good of a deal, some other investor in the area (it's a metro area of about 250,000 people) would have snatched it up by now.  

Then you don't have to pay him anything- you shake hands and walk away.
