According to Investopedia:“A recession is a significant, widespread, and prolonged downturn in economic activity.

There are many other investors who are happy and having success working with this property manager, so Will's case has not been a wide-spread issue.

This bubble is more widespread due to investor activity. 

@Trevor AydelottThe poor response time is wide spread in every market.

I just don't think it is that widespread.

A good PM should be able to diagnose a common household problem (and perhaps asked additional qualifying questions) to determine this was a simple circuit breaker reset and not a more widespread electrical issue.

That place is a fire hazard and could spark widespread damage. 

(Kylie Cooper / The Seattle Times)Several of the largest property management companies operating in Seattle conspired to drive up rents and decrease competition, three lawsuits filed this month allege.The cases, filed in federal court in Seattle, focus on the use of RealPage software, which gathers information about rental units and rent prices and uses an algorithm to recommend how much landlords should charge.The complaints claim that by exchanging detailed and “competitively sensitive” information, RealPage and the landlords have illegally created a “cartel” to set prices in violation of antitrust laws.The widespread use of RealPage has increased rents across the country and in Seattle neighborhoods such as downtown, Capitol Hill, the Central District, South Lake Union and Queen Anne, the complaints allege.The lawsuits, filed on behalf of tenants, cited an investigation by the nonprofit news outlet ProPublica that was published in October and detailed the use of RealPage in Seattle and other cities.

And, more closely related AirBNB, "Airbnb paid a tourist $7 million after she was allegedly raped in a Manhattan rental — a massive payout that is part of the firm’s widespread push to hide such shocking incidents, a new report claims.The stunning sum doled out over the previously unreported alleged crime is just part of an estimated annual $50 million that the vacation company coughs up to pay guests in legal settlements and to cover damage to hosts’ homes, according to Bloomberg."

I don't know how widespread they are, but there's a company I often see here in SoCal doing business as "We Buy Ugly Houses" with a cartoon caveman as their logo.
