The trick is to find a contractor with both the deep experience in steam and hide heating as well as the deep desire to serve the client in the best way possible.

I can find appliances that have a crushed back corner or something for 65% off and hide it.

(even if they were not on the lease--it's called secret pets).Ask the first responders if they noticed any pets in the unit (via a phone call), and also go over yourself and look around for any hiding under the bed or in closet, etc...Pet food and water bowls in the unit means pets are probably present, and if you don't do this and they die and ROT into the carpet and subfloor you will have one rough smelling rental to deal with.

Not because your PM may be hiding something from you, but because to me that feels like a breach of the relationship between you and the PM.

I have a tenant who has violated her rental agreement when she moved her 18 year old daughter in without prior consent and added a second pet she is hiding from me when I declined to allow an additional pet.

What is more likely, and has been alluded to already, is that cash buyers are not as disciplined in their assessment of the asset, because they believe they have substantially remove risk from the equation. ...You cannot be saying this with a straight face; please tell me you're kidding because this doesn't even attempt to hide what amount to nothing more than class envy."

Then, we found out she had been hiding a rabbit in her unit the whole time LOL.
