So the question: Add your listing for free is basically harming the listing agent since the leads the listing agent deserve to get are taken away from him/her.

None of these proposals would affect me or most others one bit.And for the statement that only D’s are harmful to real estate investors well that’s just plain ignorant.  

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

No harm no foul.

I think it stems from the fact that I feel that my area is so tenant friendly that I feel they can do a lot of harm if they tried to so I let a lot of things slide.

No harm no foul let her out If she is late or ever is I start the eviction the first day legally possible 

I am glad I proofread it before clicking send because it definitely wasn't necessary to reference my inside information, and it could have caused unintended harm.

It will evolve as you do.There is no harm in having a plan but having a long term plan is really just a wish list that evolves as life happens.

The great deal here is that if the market has gone down or is stagnant you just walk away and the owner gets the property back no harm no foul.
