Classic troll behavior in this thread, Karen nails all of the Greatest Hits:- Comes looking for help, starts by belittling a polarizing group of people (realtors) in hopes to drum up support for her cause- deflects any and all blame or responsibility for her situation- quickly realizes that everyone is not on her side- offers support and kindness to those who agree with her plight- constructive criticism or actual actionable advice is met with personal insults, threats of physical violence, and questioning of one's political affiliation- ironically insults the intelligence and/or grammatical shortcomings of 'detractors' in several overly wordy, poorly written, and grammatically unsound posts.- mystical tales of connections with untold wealth and previous successes rendering the opinions/advice of her detractors moot.- continues to be blinded by how her attitude and behavior are the primary cog in this.Me:

Ironically, for us, this works out to between 3% and 5% of rent depending upon the unit.  

We put up a curtain over that window...ironically before the realtor barged in. 

Ironically, he bought properties and then cut down the trees for profit, then sold the land. 

Ironically, the agencies can be our slower payers, but we keep faith that the check will come during the grace period.

Sure enough, when tenants showed up to pick up their crap, their friends brought tire irons.  

Stains, pets, bubble gum, irons, pest infestation, or anything you can think of will ruin it.When I still had decent carpet in some units I acquired, many people would ask, "Are you going to pull the carpet up?" 

Anytime a tenant cries wolf in saying they will call an attorney over some pathetic thing such as iron in the water it is a waste of your managers time, a liability for your property and all around just a pain in the arse.

Ironically, a couple months after I moved out, I received a survey that the corporate office sent to all of the tenants (mine was forwarded from my old address) asking about our opinions on the management. 

It has a big rod iron fence on a track and support bars to keep it aligned.
