I am planning on putting in duct work for a natural gas unit to heat the main floor and the new basement remodel (which will all be one apartment).My question is what should I do with the upstairs apartment?

And there are plenty of POS landlords too..... some people are just not good at their jobs and some clients are just a huge PITA no matter what you do or how good you are..... that's the nature of our society.EVERY profession has people that just suck at their job....... so making a big blanket statement about all PM's is pretty unfair.

Unskilled or minimally skilled labor is naturally going to be the "easiest".
