Numerous people walking about, talking, some with drinks in their hands, noisy laughter from the living room and kitchen, and then 4 large women dressed in black came and sat at the side of my bed, 3 on the left side, massaging my left leg, hip to toes, and one on the right leg, massaging thigh to just above ankle.

I am sure he probably still needs to massage the numbers a bit but better than excel spreadsheets and a box of receipts.

The loudest and most obnoxious preachers are always the ones caught slicking up the rent boys with massage oil.

It's easy to "massage" the NOI if you choose to replace an appliance instead of repair it, etc. 

If it’s self-managed it’s pretty easy to massage numbers.

In general, yes the 70% rule can be massaged within reason especially in the Bay Area.  

You have the right to refuse to rent to people who you refuse to make their intentions clear, or refuse to people who change their story.We've had several situations exactly like the one you described where a restaurant owner rented an apartment for employees and we've have a few where massage parlor owners were using our apartments for prostitution and we had serious problems every time.I would not go as far as taking the rental off the market, but you may feel better documenting every conversation, text message and picture.

A lot of this information bounces around in my head, so I find it somewhat therapeutic to write it down in a public forum.

A “ financial planner “ can take a 30 day coarse to be certified as an expert lol a massage therapist needs two years to be .. think about that .

Currently, i am trying to massage the scope of work to keep within my budget.
