I'm in this strange position of being out of state and unfortunatley not having the time to visit or gain personal expertise.

thank you for your imput, I also thought it strange that neither party has asked to see the property in person

Jeff makes up repeated excuses and strange reasons as to why he can't/won't pay (i.e. family emergency, bank is rejecting wires, software/website is buggy, telling investors to go "f*ck their mother").I'm in a group with 30 other investors who were also scammed by him. 

It’s just strange to me, going along with all your points, it’s a digital currency that people have an “itch” will be the “next big thing” but company’s are accepting bitcoins like regular currency to purchase products, I’ve been reading at least.

One of the reasons I asked the question is that it seems strange to me that a property management wouldn’t take anything upfront if they inherited a house that wasn’t ready for rent .Our property management also does the cleaning ( deep clean over 4 days was $1000 but they had to deal with some nasty pet hair , fleas etc)and that included some cover up paint etc .One lesson learned here is every contract with owner : property management varied greatly it seems from what is needed .But moving forward - I feel that $500 a month on a $2100 a month property is too high once it’s rented - unless endless problems persist of course ..thanks for your insight!

It is shocking how many are strange beyond belief. 

@Steve King  yup strange saga this one.. 

At almost every sale I go to, when I see strange stuff like this I go ask. 

It's also a little strange that you removed the city so it just says , PA.

Quote from @Bob Carter: I’ve been with them about 8mos and definitely some strange stuff going on.
