When I hear people tap dance like this, it just annoys me.

It never bothered although I will correct certain people if the keep repeating incorrectly and are annoying.

You can get rid of many of your annoying little 'old-house issues' by buying an existing house that needs repairs and literally doing everything: new plumbing, new electrical, new drywall, new roof, etc....

I had 11 of these and good systems in place but still had 1-2 evictions a year and 3-4 big things that were normal annoyances like plumbing leaks, damages from hurricanes, or some vandalism.

Quote from @Rick Albert: As someone who invests in Los Angeles, regulation keeps making it tougher and tougher.The good thing with heavy regulation like rent control is it keeps investors out, which means those left behind will be the only inventory (thus very high rents).However, even then there is only so much that one can take and when there are other landlord friendly markets, it can be a better business decision to invest elsewhere.Fellow LA Investor Here. and yeah LA is super annoying but it all becomes worth it when i get a heloc on the place i bought in 2017 (and overpaid for by about $40k, as I had lost out on a bunch of deals and bought this out of sheer frustration) and i am now buying 2 properties (In Indiana)  and BRRRing them, all with nothing but that HELOC money---- that's what LA is good for imho. 

Annoying "California uber alles!"

I hope you believe in Karma, because your overly-confident attitude is definitely not helpful in the least and sincerely speaking, it's actually annoying especially compared to all the others that responded on here.

I feel like the harder any company markets themselves the crappier their product or service is, especially annoying methods like spamming inboxes and vm boxes.

, but get a Karen neighbor and a bad/annoying tenant, and she will push to have it changed and then you're stuck.   

The property managers that I temporarily employed had different opinions of what acceptable property condition was, I probably could have gotten higher rents and the new tenants had to deal with some annoying things for a few years that I would have happily fixed before they moved in if I'd known about them.
