If investing in that studio style, I’d highly recommend only the best asset qualities, i.e. walk-in with no stairs, good area, golf course or lake view, etc. 

And of course a Licensed Contractor.....

@Tarik Kafel recommend checking NARM.com for professional and licensed PMCs.Also, here's our copy & paste advice:Encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Of course, there is nothing set in stone, but that seems to be most common. 

Your PMC is recommending the path of least resistance, because mold claims could be VERY expensive.Also, many insurance companies will NOT cover mold issues.So, call your insurance agent and see if this will be covered or not.At the same time, direct your PMC to get a professional mold test done to determine if there actually is a problem or the tenant is mistaken or exaggerating. 

Also find out if they have a move out list for you to check and what the expectations are (ie I expect any carpet to be professionally cleaned and want a receipt, over is cleaned, if you had a pet any poop in the yard to be picked up, etc).  

Attending the mastermind also gives you access to her MultiFi community where you get access to the course, ongoing zooms and support, and the zoom vault with past trainings.

You should contact your attorney and/or tax professional to obtain advice with respect to any particular issue or problem.

Ok, I had a house I was selling go into escrow and of course the buyer had a Home Inspector do his thing.

One is having the tax status of qualified real estate professional, which basically means that your primary job is on real estate.
