We need to get more involved and get better organized at pushing our agenda. 

I have been involved in litigation in the past when a subcontractor ordered materials from China and the formaldehyde levels in the products were not satisfactory to the buyers of the units when they did their own testing and they filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit. 

Mike, the CEO of the NREIG personally got involved with tenant and "negotiated" a settlement with the tenant on terms which included free rent, as well as a payment to be made by the landlord which we did not consent to.  

I get super paranoid about these things, especially when there is a lot of money involved.

I don't think your post will get much action but you being involved in the group and answering questions can get you noticed.

And if they were, there’s no chance they would do it in Nicaragua, given the risks involved.

MLS dues and Board dues are just 2 of many many costs involved in maintaining a license.

I didn’t like the expense involved when I researched cost of maintaining a business account to self manage 1 rental and found that the LLC route wasn’t necessary if we maintained an umbrella policy, so I just keep track of rental income and expenses (not that hard) on the one I self manage and any extra expenses on the ones managed by property management to add to their annual summary for my accountant.

@Steve Cribb to be successful, landlords need to set boundaries.Many tenants, especially desperate ones, try to make their problems their landlord's problems.As a PMC, we try to be reasonable, as "life happens" and "tenants are tenants for a reason", meaning they don't plan well and live paycheck to paycheck.Part of our being reasonable though, involves deadlines and we AUTOMATICALLY start the eviction process so a tenant knows this. 

The bankers involved got together to create it.Are the people at the Fed government employees?
