Hi @Christine Swaidan,The harder you emphasize you are getting bids from multiple contractors and hardcore shopping to get the lowest price and quality, the less time any reasonably intelligent person should expect any reasonably intelligent contractor to put into any particular bid.A family member of mine is a high service, high quality GC, always available via cell.

Cell phone has been disconnected and no one answered at the apartment, so we left a pay or quit notice.

Look into water meters with wifi that track right to your cell phone.

So we got 10 months rent/year.Back in the '90's she begged her daughter to get her a cell phone 'for the guilt trip safety concerns' & insisted that she would pay for it.

And the school director promised he would hold on to what would be the bulk of her compensation and "take care of her" if she needed anything.This went on for twenty years.I met this woman when she was in her fifties and had throat cancer due to her lifelong drinking.

So they left the a notice to ask to call me back ASAP.She called me back (8/17/16) and said that she got cancer.

Currently I utilize texting and when necessary personally call individual tenants who don't have cell phones when I need to notify an entire building of common information.

, the results were not favorable and the system recommended a decline based on low income and 4 accounts under collectionI then contacted the applicant and told her that we had declined her application for these very reasons, to which she responded that her income was over $100k/yr, enough to qualify, and that she had fallen into a rough patch and financial challenges in the 3 years leading up to her husband's passing due to pancreatic cancer. 

He did mention he had cancer and has been in remission for 8 years. 

Good PM’s (Outside of the gentrifying areas) in Baltimore are hard to come by.Regarding pictures, they are sloppy, but I used cell phone pics for my listing - just made sure to showcase all the fine points and how big the rooms are, etc
