I agree that it is not a good thing for new investors/members to read an unethical blog post that appears to have a BP seal of approval.However, what is most disturbing to me is there are experienced investors that don't understand what is wrong with those negotiating tactics!

I don't like carpet at all, but find a hard floor upstairs can be pretty disturbing for the downstairs tenant.

Sounds like in this case the women had no idea, so I don't think should be attacking them, but he has to be disturbed IMO.If we were to stop a life before conception, you never know what the future heirs of that life may do, they could be a mass murderer or they could be someone who saves your great-gandkids life from a burning house, saving your seed on this earth...no way to know.

It is quiet and does not disturb tenants3. lawn looks better and healthier (supposedly)4. if i schedule it to mow at night, it will (hopefully) keep deer awayCons:1. this thing will require monthly service - just basic cleaning and blade replacement (those are very cheap)2. risk of theft is low where I am, plus I'll add it to the property insurance, so this is a minor "con"3. myself (or someone else) needs to get it out of the basement in the spring and put it away in the autumn.I wonder if anyone already uses them and can share their mileage.
