Read Patterns, Not Stars
- Weight 3-star detail + recent 6 months over old 5-stars. Look for gate, cameras, manager names, fee surprises repeated.
- Red flags: identical phrasing bursts, no specifics, defensive owner replies, auction/lien complaint clusters.
- Green flags: specific unit sizes, storm handling, claim resolution, long-tenure reviewers.
