I am definitely juggling a lot, laying the foundation to eventual financial freedom is fighting tooth and nail for every inch.

I'm the VP of a roofing company in South Florida and work with a few good PM companies on a regular basis, a lot of bad ones too.There are good and bad PMs in each of those companies. 

Full disclosure, I'm not a disaster expert, politician or climate alarmist, but according to those fighting fires on the California coast since the 1960's, Devil Winds are natural occurrences each and every decade but require highly conducive conditions to be as destructive. 

In short: A great accountant will help you get wealthy faster, a bad one will have you make mistakes faster, and no accountant will ensure you keep making the mistakes your currently making.

Also you seem to not have a team in place, BAD idea.

So along comes Mr Sub2, singing how he will waive his hand and make the bad go away. 

This mitigates your risk in picking bad ones as you get to keep your good one.

Has anyone had any luck obtaining legal counsel and fighting this?  

The tenant can make up tons of unfounded accusations and all together it just paints a bad picture.
