Only issue I've had so far is the first plumbing company was horrible to work with, so I asked AHS for another plumber and he was fantastic. $50/mo vs. $100-150 prop mgmt.

I have to always choose the best out of a pool of horrible tenants.

I can see this as a good idea and a horrible one.

So I kept digging into that until he was basically telling me only horrible things about the quality tenants he was getting.

@Natasha Wade  I suspect this happens but on its face its TERRIBLE business practice.. and as  HML I would NEVER do this.. giving nameless people who may or may not be credit worthy the ability to tie up property, based on this phony letter is just HORRIBLE way to do business.In my mind your either in the business ,,, have thought it through enough to have capital or the ability to get capital or you sit it out until you do...LOL   blind leading the blind.. 

My dad and his siblings all have horrible relationships as a result.

Adam So Adam....let me start by saying that I am not trying to be abrasive....it is truly not my intent....and I am new to BP....with that said I will stick my head in the lions mouth...Montalongo has a HORRIBLE reputation....for all the reasons stated here...look him up at all and you'll see why....chapter7 for his personal, while his "company" (by and large connected is making money hand over fist teaching about how to become successful like him)....sleazy behavior. 

10% good, if rather general advice.  10% absolutely horrible advice.  

You shouldn't work in Cobb County, I hear its terrible there and there's no deals...in fact, I hear anybody who works there gets horribly diseased and their wives leave them.On a serious note, I like to hire guys that aren't driving forever to get on site, but most GC's in Atlanta are used to driving across town, so they really dont have to be local to Cobb by a long shot.

Michael, The horrible situation described in the think progress article should be covered under the legal concept of 'lack of foreseesbilty'.I believe the surviving party who's name is on the lease inform the landlord he cannot be held legally responsible for a random act an committed by a government agency who actions resulted in the death of a friend who's presence at the residence at the time could not have been reasonably predicted to have produced an outcome that would have normally resulted in damage to the property owners property.
