@Evan O'BrienI know many people are anti-agents, but just list with a real estate agent. 

The area they are moving into is actively anti-mask. 

If you are not aware, Seattle is very pro-tenant and is (IMO) one of the most anti-landlord cities in the nation. 

Typical agenda story with anti-landlord bias.

Every change made in the last 5-10 years has been pro-tenant or anti-landlord, depending how you look at it.

I'm not anti-wholesaling, just remember, they do not represent you or your interests.

Option 2: The Close your Eyes and Wait Act1 - Tell them there's more where they came from, and if they want to eliminate them they should call an exterminator.2 - The cost of the exterminator is not the landlord's responsibility...of course they wouldn't be able to get past the laughing on the other end of their call to the exterminator to worry about any arguments about the cost, and who pays for it.Option 3: The Placebo Act1 - Buy a supply of aspirin (not for you, although you may want to keep some).2 - Put them in a bottle labeled Anti Spider Pills3 - Tell them to save the next spider(s) they kill.4 - Give the bottle to them and tell them to crush the pills. 5 - Mix the crushed pills with the crushed spider and spread them throughout the house.6 - Tell them this works, but only if they do this often since it depends on the quantity of spiders they use...the more the better.This last one should at least keep them busy for a while, and you will have a free "spiders be gone" service.

HOAs can be very anti-investor.

Not only do I block their number and report it to anti spam databases, but I also usually file a complaint for federal and state violation of do not call list.

Longer processing timesPotentially higher competition via larger tenant poolsHigher rentMoving "up market" and avoiding owning high risk propertiesMoving out of the city limitsMoving out of the asset class ENTIRELY (at least in the USA) as the last year was a complete usurpation of private property by the state and given the increasing anti-landlord and anti-property rights sentiment in the USA.
