Their communication can be described at best as mechanical.

The location is key, with easy access to transportation, parks, and the rich cultural heritage of the area.

Your best option is to terminate the current manager and switch to one with better processes and communication.

However, if you clearly communicated a $15K budget, I’d stick to that and ask them to discuss the overages with the contractor to find a resolution.As a side note, always try to maintain reserves for your properties.

I have been kicked out of every form of communication relating to this deal.

We communicate with the tenants or have the property mgmt company communicate with the tenants throughout.

There are several other issues (undisclosed maintenance markup fees, excessive charges to our account, significant reductions to agreed rent without communication, etc).

Considering they changed their name twice...Has there been any communication from the GP to you?

To communicate that a candidate doesn’t meet your qualifications without violating fair housing rules, you can simply focus on the criteria rather than the individual.

The area is rich in history and culture, and with ongoing investment and development in the neighborhood.
