He didn't take any timely action against the tenant as a property manager, rather waited 5 months to chase after the easy money from the owner who in the first place, hired him to do the job.

Chase stopped allowing this several years ago. 

My guess is they are chasing other opportunities.On the other hand, there are REALTORS out there that are just absolutely rude with no business sense.

You're chasing your own tail.

I was advised to stay away from the big boys (Chase/BOA,etc.) because of the bureaucracy.

I don't chase rent.

I have tried contacting the state to remove some of the legwork of me having to chase and get to the bottom of it but have gotten a lot of non follow-up or not able to help but may need to push there again. 

I know that Chase doesn’t care.

However, there are always deals to be made and those who follow the strategies of doing their own marketing to get their phone to ring instead of looking at the MLS and chasing foreclosures will still always have a place to win. 

You can’t hire a handyman over $500 (on all work - labor and material) without a license or a 1099, if something goes wrong, you lose the 15k contractors bond leverage (your safety net) as well which you could chase if this GC fails to perform the contract.
