If we end up in court will the judge see that this is in fact a "Just Cause" eviction based upon our correspondence and evidence and that I simply made a procedural error in not submitting the proper notice?

More importantly, the cost of living is relatively cheaper than the west coast counterparts, so at least my west coast clients seem to experience a nice boost in lifestyle.

Be sure to screen properly and use this as a lesson to improve your systems.

@Curt Treece that only leads to over-leveraging and the income not properly supporting the debt load

A proper modern Crawlspace has >= 24” clearance thus all sewer lines are easily accessible. 

The PMC has found quality vendors, negotiated reduces rates for their clients' properties, verified the vendor is properly insured, received and diagnosed the complaint, hired the vendor, coordinated with the tenant, received the invoice, paid it and tracked it for 1099 reporting and does that each year as well.  

If you go with a proper TK operator, your passive income should be greater than zero starting from the first year.

What kind of lifestyle do you want (working everyday or retire early)?

The fact they are complaining online might be an indication the property manager dealt with them properly so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.
