A property investor needs to sell a duplex at a loss due to negligence from a property manager who failed to inspect or maintain the property, and the contract didn't require proactive management.

The contract was written to protect the PM and didn't require proactive inspections or maintenance, leaving the owner with no recourse and a trashed property.
