Like any other expert -- a banker, an accountant, or banker -- invest time only with an authentic person that you respect and trust from moment one.  

Do you trust that they made a proper executive decision to save you money and them time, by doing a smaller fix than originally estimated.

You can be nice to them, waive  late fees, work  out payment plans to avoid evictions, etc... but when it boils down to money, it's jeckle and hyde and they will be after your throat, so trust me-- I understand!

Is trust important in this business?

Do you trust this person to hold your purse open?

You may be able to get an interest rate better than 4.5%  Do you know how you are financing the repairs and do you have contractors you know and trust lined up?  

I'm no financial planer or a lawyer but you might also want to consider putting this property and any future properties in a land trust.

Reaching out to property management is an excellent idea - we love and trust the company we use for our rentals, I imagine they'll have a few suggestions.
