A bad PM (of which there are many) treat you like a gullible fool to be exploited by nickle and diming you for every thing and working to maximize their profit rather than yours.

Wow so you put the entire downpayment on a line of credit and did not use a dime of your cash?

Learn the true ins and outs of this business before you spend a dime.

Your tenant may not need a dime to get things corrected.
