Bill Gulley 's course called How to Make Candy Out of Waldo, but he wouldn't let me in - said Brandon Turner took the last opening...That Turner is always one step ahead of me.  

I've learned all the same lessons you did today a few years back but I also like to keep some type of allergy friendly snack and candy or gum with me.... lesson learned from being in a car with someone who had bad breath.....

Welcome to BP Nation Tanya and welcome to LA (for 12 years).I’m in and around sets here and there as well as my youngest son is an actor, fun stuff!

It damages the reputation of the bad actor, which means if another investor does due diligence, they will know not to work with this person.

Yes older cabinets are better bulid but new cabinets add better storage and use of space not to mention eye candy for better rents Besides thats what security deposit are for.

I have received a property management agreement that has 12% of rents for price, (Seems high, but I can live with that) It also has a clause that basicly says Agent agrees to act diligently, but neither Agent or its employees shall not be liable to Owner or any person for any act or omission, negligent, tortuous, or otherwise, (except for intentional or omissions or gross negligence) of any agent or his employee, and owner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and his employees, and indemnify, defend and hold harmless against any liability, loss, damage, cost or expense, (including legal fees) by reason of such omission.

Every different dimension of REI has good actors and bad actors.

For sure there are bad actors out there.  

If you are talking about Ellis Act or moving in as an owner then that would not apply as there are additional rules regarding that.I know several people that buy out tenants, renovate the units and re lease at market rates in LA. 

Politicians aren't about to admit that they don't want more housing as it puts strain on the infrastructure and it's just not sexy to spend money on infrastructure, not to mention it takes away from spending on their pet projects and eye candy that can get them re-elected.
