Ask them to explain how you're supposed to have a warranty w/o them giving you the receipt.3) Labor Charges: should be defined in your PM contract OR they should present a bid for your approval with labor & materials.Now a couple of thoughts in the PMC's defense:1) If you didn't get a receipt, how did you match the exact same model at Lowe's, so the price of $530 is apples-to-apples?

But again afraid to call them out for getting sued.What’s interesting in some of the recent posts is the “cut and paste” response from the sponsor actually looks worse for the sponsor.Just goes to show how big a POS they are by threatening investors - now that’s assuming the LP is telling the truth but in some cases people who are experienced syndicators found the property was foreclosed and sold back to the lender - so curious what the sponsors defense is?
