I prefer personally knowing someone if they do a good job (not quite the same sentiment if they do a bad job...).Our biggest fail so far has been in repairing a deck.

@Amy Beth - That was my original sentiment. 

Welcome @Cory Johnson, I'd like to mirror @Tim Swierczek 's sentiment. 

Not emotionally attached to the house at all (not really the sentimental type), but still don't want it trashed due to laissez faire management. 

I'm going to echo everyone else's sentiment about WI Legal Bank.

I am sentimental about this house because it was my primary home but I am more sentimental about losing money 🙂.

I'm going against alot of the sentiment being expressed in this thread.Losing out on rent for a period doesn't make you a charity it makes you a businessman because these situations are part of the risk that you take on when you get into this business.  

Payman,I echo the sentiments of your seeking out an Independent Agent. 

Check out this site for more info on the anti ABB sentiment in SC City, http://www.unfairbnb.net/Not everyone likes the woods; my opinion is happily biased!

I just do not think the sentiment warrants much comment as 1) it makes no sense because it is so easy to assess the RE equity that you can use the equity to purchase anything that you want to purchase with the equity gain 2) most investments that appreciate the realized value is only when you access the gain.
