Even though this would be a misinterpretation on their part, the language and style of your response would also be partially to blame for facilitating the misinterpretation.Perhaps a more responsible and helpful way to make the same point would sound something like this and elicit no controversy:  ""Having been in the business for many years and with several properties under my belt, I have found the following percentages to be relevant to me and my market...8% vacancy8% repair7% capex10% managementPlease understand that your chosen market may and probably does differ, for instance repairs and vacancy may be higher if you're dealing with rougher asset classes, labor costs may be higher in luxury markets, etc. 

The main differences are pricing, responsiveness, and types of assets they can facilitate. 

Brandon Turner started one called the Makai Foundation (makai.org) with some local construction companies and other business owners out here to help facilitate what is needed and get around the red tape. 

He has also been a facilitator between the new tenants and I by being available to coordinate arrival times and the specifics of their needs.

They facilitate the trustee sales for many of the trustees here in AZ. 

Id hate to have a deal available and drop the ball by not having someone to connect with to facilitate it.

I auto-debit as much as possible and then, only because the Loan Service Co can't get it together, I write physical checks for few accounts, like the mortgage, closing gas, electric after move-outs, but then too, I have a LL continuation policy to all Utils on and active between tenants to facilitate cleanups.Then YE, it's property tax time and no way to do (or would allow even) auto-debit any Tax agency.

The deposit helps to facilitates loan processing in an efficient manner.

If you are looking to set up financing on that next deal, I have a few private capital groups that can facilitate.

I would recommend making extra payments to your properties with the cash flow coming in to facilitate the pay off.
