This was something I was intrigued about and the post jumped back to the top of the list when you asked yours. 

I would say the posts above are great ideas to try first before taking legal action.

Mel, I appreciate your post and acting smart into something you are not invested into.

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.  

@Tyler Lingle I found a couple prior to even posting this (CIREIA Club) but was curious about others before making a decision on which one(s) to focus my time. 

Yup, that'll open an artery real fast, I've seen a slew of those last few years and each time people posting "wtf is this???"

It would be wise to post the name of the franchise you are considering.

Good listings are a people game, not anything you have at the bottom of your post.

hopefully your inspection went well. wish i would have seen your post earlier i would have been happy to help you out with your inspection. but to answer your question, there really isn't anything you need to "ask" your inspector to look for. if he is a good inspector he will know what to look for and what defects are major and should be addressed immediately and which defects are minor.
