****I am not a financial advisor or guru, I was just a dumb civil engineer who learned that you cannot push on a rope and dirt and water  = mud.

Large fires lead to large mud slides.

Same with fill dirt - they can't deliver mud to locations, and we can't compact it nor test it.

They don't associate cheap with undesirable. 

in a vast interview process with many steps before allowing someone to move in. a new roomie is an everyone-decision, not a landlord-only decision; if you're expecting people to co-exist in a space together (for longer than just a few months), you have to make sure they all have some things in common, or at minimum have the right expectations in terms of cleanliness and routine habits.someone working the night shift and someone else having a 5am rise-time, or someone who works from home in a call-center job is not going to jive well for example. and someone who doesnt handle conflict well is not going to jive with someone who is brutally honest and up front about issues. happy to go into more deets on how we do things if it will help. this can certainly be lucrative in terms of cash flow, but there are huge mud puddles i have stepped in over the years which i have had to learn to navigate.

My problem is how much of a chump move it is out of this guy Josh to come on here and try to drag my name through the mud with lies, accusations, and insinuations on an issue that doesn't even involve me.

Lower your price, not your standards.Your house is either priced too high, or it's in an area that's undesirable to good renters.

Where other people see a mud hole, you see a nice building pad.Key thing is you personally have to be creative.
