Quote from @Rich Davis: I know there have been posts regarding the ever increasing cost of insurance.

Thanks to everyone here for providing so much knowledge and tips, learning a lot on BP!

Quote from @Jr Miller: The lack of human interaction increases our number of showings.

If you own the house together, the only options are for one party to buy out the other or sell the house.

Quote from @Kaven Li: Is it reasonable to ask the PM to at least make a visit next time to brief the service provider on what the issue is, or is this technically outside of the scope of a usual PM's services?

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
