Indeed, the FAIR ordinance is anything but fair to non-corporate landlords, seemingly punished for investing in rental houses to generate income as an alternative to stocks and bonds.A handful of opportunists likely could learn to exploit these new rules, preying on otherwise law-abiding landlords to obtain legalized shake-down payments.

I just finished detailing my exploits in my upcoming book "The Magic of Real Estate."

Traits exploited by MI4.

@Mostafa KoperlyMSO's like DSO's look for opportunities to exploit nationwide because they are backed by PE.

“As alleged in the complaint, Pina exploited celebrity status and social media to develop a devoted following of potential victims,” Sellinger said in a release.

I would love to meet some new members, young or no, whose goals might include a solid cash flow and providing good value to renters who are exploited or poorly treated by unresponsive landlords or large corporate operations.  

Financial scams can be Exploitative of people's emotions and the shame in admitting to family and friends that they were duped when typically the investors are felt in their family and friend groups to be the most financially savvy and therefore less capable of getting exploited.

Perhaps a strategy to explore would be to buy in cash, exploit the buying power and get a better deal, stabilize the property over 12 months, have a better assessment of the properties expenses, then finance the property. 

Take 95% of them off line and you open up to an exploit, where controlling miners rule (51% exploit).

No matter if you try to help, if they can exploit you they often will.Like others have mentioned you need a license and even when you don't if something goes wrong, you could face lawsuits if you even smell like giving them official advice.My REAL advice however is this, and I hope you take this warning seriously.Let's talk about foreclosures for a second.According to data a few years ago (it is worse now) every 3000 mailers will get you 1 deal, which makes the chances of them wanting to sell their house 0.03%.This means 99.97% of the time, when you approach someone in foreclosure they are not interested in selling.So understand what you are factually doing...You are going through all this trouble to EXPLICITLY try to find people that do NOT want to sell their house (people in foreclosure), to try to get them to sell their house?
