Quote from @Chris Olandese:  I like this too - it's very definitive which matches my work ethic.

I remember back when I was ramping up my own rental portfolio in those early-2000s San Diego days, I learned the hard way that ignoring “little” costs..like that termite treatment or the property manager’s onboarding fee..can turn what looked like a sweet deal into something that barely breaks even.Let’s say you pick up a property in one of those under-the-radar neighborhoods in Omaha or maybe on the south side of Chicago..markets I’ve seen a few colleagues dabbling in lately..you’ve got to be ready to get real about the numbers.

@John Voychick I'm so sorry to hear about your experience, it really pains me to hear about people getting subpar treatment and customer service I always listen to people's experiences to make sure that I can prevent these kinds of things from happening to my clients.

The government has tried it with section 8 and rent control in some cities , we all know the end result .You would be better off starting a jobs program teaching the trades , educating them on finances and work ethic and then rebuilding abandoned properties for them to buy 

People like myself who respect and follow the rules consistently lose prospects to our less ethical peers who initiate contact with investors, with impunity.

I know in my 50 years of being an RE Broker in Multiple states I have had to just go direct its usually frowned upon per ethics but if you think you need to nothing stopping your agent from doing that..
