Account Closed welcome to BP.

I have multiple mortgages, banking accounts, credit cards, brokerage accounts, crypto currency accounts, crowd funding accounts, employee 401k, self directed ira, employee stock plan administrator, shares in a small-town bank, I feel like I could go forever.

Account Closed Yeah absolutely!!

Read your contract with the PM company carefully to make sure it doesn't give them a carte-blanche on accountability, but it sounds as though you can make a case for their being derelict.

You need to ask an accountant about that.

But it sounds like you're buying more than one unit, in which case you should have gas and electric metered separately through your tenants account.

Anyone have recommendations for landlord friendly Raleigh/Cary based accountants.

I highly recommend consulting with your accountant about rental property sales.  

Account Closed  am curious what type of contractors you are talking with. 

Whether or not the account was modified that amount was likely owed to the 1st in the form of back due payments, interest, late fee's, etc.
