Quote from @Kevin Sobilo:  My leases state that any monies owed are payable "as rent" so that if they do not pay that damage bill I can simply choose to evict them for "unpaid rent" which is simple and cookie cutter.FYI this is not legal in Colorado. https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1095 prohibits "A provision that characterizes any amount or fee set forth in the rental agreement, with the sole exception of the set monthly payment for occupancy of the premises, as "rent" for which all remedies to collect rent, including eviction, are available"As for the $600 faucet... it sounds like you just called up a random plumber and told them to install a faucet.

Not had a Goodman fail yet.On another property (our same favorite HAVC guy) installed a new a/c compressor, evap. coil retro-fit & line set for $2900.

If you are comfortable with them, set up a showing, or if not, tell them the property manager will call them to set up a showing (they are applying to so many places that they rarely follow up when no one calls).

From their perspective, they need to manage travel and set up time to protect their profits.

Some of them might have knob and tube electrical and I've owned one where plumbing was fine (all copper) but with the lack of insulation in an area those lines would freeze in extreme cold temperatures. 

I got some general information upfront and then they said they wanted to pair me up with an account rep and get things set up for me.

Most of us would not.... but this individual is fine with it all.... it is a completely different set of ethics (or absecence thereof) in which they operate by, it would be a fallacy think that your verbal agreement when you met with him will be honored, have any of these above questions been honored so far?... 

Managing this from California has presented its own set of challenges. 

Hi Erick,One major hurdle is setting the right price without the insights a real estate agent might offer, potentially affecting your home's marketability.
