@Glen Michael we charge an onboarding fee to owners, which they ALWAYS complain about, but they don't want to undertand why it's so important.We use the funds to check:1) Ownership: we verify property is actually properly deeded to their name, LLC, etc. - We've found issues where owners was NOT on the deed and was scammed- We've also had to patiently explain to owners that since an LLC owned the property, that the management contract had to be in the LLC name and we needed proof they could sign for the LLC.2) Property Taxes: we make sure we know the status, to avoid tax foreclosure issues.- Took over several properties for an out-of-country owner last year that we're in the midst of tax foreclosure.

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

It's definitely more common up there (Gilpin County where the regs say you can camp for 30 days with a camping permit and neighbors are typically less likely to complain/ code enforcement is less likely to notice and enforce).

The appraisers are professionals and usually undervalue your property by about 15-20% just to avoid people complaining too much.

I could have easily had double the portfolio I now own, and while I'm not complaining by any stretch of the imagination as RE has been very very good to me, it slowed my progress down significantly when interest rates were excellent and I should have been more willing to use leverage.

It's easy to complain from the cheap seats, so in go, to the front row! 

And if they only had done 0.25% rather than 0.5% then doomsayers would be complaining they went too small and that also means a bad economy ahead (and "take off the party hat" as you're saying now). 

It appears the percentage of people living this way is growing and the internet is giving them an easy way to constantly complain, "woe is me".Unfortunately, politicians are starting to pander to this segment of the population for votes.Unless something changes, morally-challenged politicians will give more and more government subsidies to these people (to get re-elected), increasing the national debt until the country defaults on its debt.
