There will probably always need to be some human intervention (as you said, for small tweaks).

I recently setup a Google Calendar to email me daily so I can double check them remotely and adjust them accordingly, though this isn't working out very well as it's too much manual intervention. 

It's clear that some intervention is needed.

It is a double edged sword though, because once the BK is filed the lender won't usually discuss the short sale without attorney intervention in Bankruptcy Court.  

Then as the extra money supply started to cause predictable economic outcomes and inflation, the Fed's intervention was to squeeze investment.

They almost screwed up my yearly declaration (if not for my intervention), the price they charge for their registered agent is high and service is so so, and the worst is I've been waiting almost 6 months now for my EIN to come in, and I know the IRS backlog is only 2-3 months, so they are not doing their jobs.

No one likes government intervention (prohibitive regulations) for the most part while they are building themselves up, but once they are up an running the idea of a threat from a disruptive technology has people crying and claiming it isn't fair the little guys can do this or that.

That, to me, almost sounds riskier than just letting it go the week without any intervention (always at risk of a fire when you leave a heater unattended). 

Many landlords during each of these eras experienced a 25%, or more, loss of gross rents.I can't predict the future, but our next major decline could be due to overbuilding of apartments, a continued trend of cost of living exceeding wage increases, a fracking industry that suddenly gets legislated out of existence, institutional owners of single family portfolios suddenly choosing to liquidate their holdings or even, as you'd said, governmental intervention in the form of rent control. 

I need an intervention.
