Contact a reputable RE attorney in the area where the PM is located.

Make sure to check accurate ARV comps within 0.5 miles and get quotes from reputable contractors.

Having worked in and around real estate including loan side for both residential and smaller specialized commercial (medical), renovation and new construction/new build with a broker & brokerage founder (who has since retired) I know from him that in addition to reputable property managers, contractors and architects we had accountants including a forensic accountant on the loan side and a handful of real estate attorneys with one on retainer.
