As with any market, there are risks and rewards that need to be carefully considered.In the words of Wayne Gretzky, "I skate to where the puck is going to be."

You need to decide on your personal Risk/Reward dynamics.

They should be punished, not rewarded.....You're asking for advice, so here's mine - 1) fire these clowns, 2) get the project bid out yourself, 3) have the repairs done, 4) hire a new PM to manage your new property, 5) go relax and let the money roll in.....
