I will add to what @Jeff B. said:If your PM is doing a good job tenant/owner interaction only undercuts their work and very likely upsets any systems and methods they have in place.

I know this will sound very newbie-ish... yet, I'm beginning to think in the market I'm in that the only way for me to find a decent place to rent is ti a) skip the CraigsList listing and b) to find a 'For Sale By Owner' listing that has a reasonable price attached to it...I don't know of any nationwide site that specializes in 'Rent To Own' listings...Sooo.....As I'm trying to keep my monthly rental outlay between $500 to $800/month.... are there resources to approach an owner who is selling... where I can just pay him monthly for his place?

But in VA, if there is a domestic violence, and party A is victim of it, and party A gets protective order signed by a judge against party B, then party A can be relieved from the burden of the lease agreement, and party B will be solely responsible for it - assuming both parties were on the lease agreement. 

Then use the prevailing cap rate based on A,B, or C class property in your area.

Ask agent to compare offers in a spreadsheet - anonymized - like Party A, Party B, Party C to compare offers as apples to apples.
