I wasn't expecting such an engaged reaction, but I'm enjoying the conversation.

I saw this price increase hit my inbox this morning and had the same disappointed reaction that you are experiencing.

I've never heard of a tenant stealing one- although anything is possible with tenants.Washer dryer hook-ups are a good sales point.It seems strange to me, but a cute sink in the bathroom gets a rave reaction.

My first reaction is why do you care?.

Robert - I agree that you don't necessarily always need to have the "hair trigger" reaction but you really need to know your tenants.

If you can't change what people think or say the only thing you can change is your reaction".

Put out the torches and let the folks spend time getting their affairs in order to resolve this problem vs. handling the mob reaction.

So, my trust level is in protective mode.So, in this case I think it's a plate full of newbie reactions.  

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.  

But honestly my initial reaction is maybe I should focus on rentals instead of flips, or perhaps a hybrid (rent my flips for a year between buying and selling).
