Tenants began pulling down the smoke detectors and calling out the Licensed and Inspection agency to write up the properties for violations so I could not get my rental license.

I feel like I'm at the point of have to give a 5 day notice (Illinois), but I'm also wanting to notify their nursing placement agency as they're not paying rent, and they've been late on rent 2 other months now.

For leases you write for your own buildings need give tenants no agency disclosures. 

There seems to be some lack of knowledge on the owners' part come to think about it.

Hence, your lack of comparisons. 

Given the recent pickup in activity, I thought this would be a good time to re-hash the agencies' small balance multifamily loan programs for future reference. 

The cheapest is not the best, you don't want to lack coverage and be left with a high deductible. 

I don’t know the condition of the property nor how to properly assess it considering my lack of experience – who would I approach due diligence?

We are also in Phoenix.Can you contact me about the collection agency.

I do not appreciate basically being “fired” by my property manager because she was unable to handle firm and constructive feedback regarding the lack of HER communication and multiple mistakes by this company.
