@Zach Lemaster   is quite active on the BP   my interactions with him have always been very professional 

Unfortunately, we can't really speak to the accuracy of the "link" you referred to, nor are we in a good position to advise as to any risks you might be taking buying in that exact neighborhood.A good, local, Property Manager that you TRUST will be a key element to success.
