The oceanpointe folks trials and tribulations are on line at the state of Indiana's AG website takes all of 5 minutes and a few key strokes to pull that info up..

Some do it to stroke their own ego, others do it as they are selfish.

Different strokes for different folks makes the world go round.

Passive income doesn't mean you didn't 'lift a finger', passively sitting in your pajamas while stroking checks to contractors.

I don't know your motivation but, if it's to help people, then I'd focus on answering questions, making connections, and mentoring someone new as opposed to trying to rank users based on arbitrary metrics and stroking egos. 

(To add to it, he recently had a stroke, and sounds rather adversely effected by that). 

Different strokes for different folks I guess!

(sarcasm) :)We have 5 (FIVE)...........yes five.The key difference is NOT the cats but the owners who take care of them.Many owners do not properly care for their animals.Our cats have always been indoor cats. 2 were strays but were kittens when found.All our cats are domesticated an dhave been tested and cleared.They are spayed and neutered.They never go outside except for our porch on the balcony upstairs for a few minutes then they want to go back in.Having animals is expensive to take care of properly.You have to make sure they have regular vet visits to keep them healthy.Every 3 weeks we clip their nails,clean their ears,and comb them.We brush their teeth a few times a week and bath them occasionally.The only reason a cat will go outside of the litter box is if:1.they cannot access it2.The owners don't clean it enough (how would you like standing in crap to go to the bathroom).3.The owners have too few litter boxes for the number of cats4.The owners let sick cats or outside cats mingle with their inside ones which can lead to many diseases including feline leukemia.I would say in fairness to landlords as pet owners who own our house we are probably in the top 30% of pet owners as far as caring for them.The cats if you clip them every 3 weeks will not do damage to the carpets as the claws will not be sharp enough.Also if you have scratch pads they can that will help immensely.Pets cared for properly have shown to reduce stress,prevent strokes,and lower blood pressure for better heart health.As a landlord you would have to consider many pet owners would fall into the negligence category sadly.For this you have to take on bigger deposits to mitigate the risk.

Feels like I'm unearthing a fossil one brush stroke at a time.

Unless the car is a classic, they are depreciating assets good for nothing more than stroking your ego
