Additionally, you should probably instruct the PM to dry out the attic if you have with fans and / or a dehumidifier. 

I'm not a fan of "Guru speakers."

I’m a big fan of Cleveland myself because of its growth and potential.

It's not to get the biggest pile of money/net worth.I am also a big fan of Wes Moss and his work.

If suspected/in doubt, I would terminate rather than stand the chance of something hitting the fan and having my property labeled a "nuisance property."  

Not a fan of D.C. multi family right now prices are high with rates very hard to cash flow and unless you are playing in the 1.5mil+ you are in at best borderline neighborhood’s & also competing against a ton of newer apartments in most cases.

I'm also a fan of Concord if looking into Contra Costa County.  

You'll learn a lot more actually doing it than you will with any amount of education IMOI'm also just not a fan of MLM in general.

I have been considering switching (currently using ERA) and not really a fan of their property management style.

So far in the past 5 years, we haven't had any issues, but you're right, all is takes is one time and things can hit the fan really quick.
