At least the moderate appreciation of some areas, helps to mitigate that problem somewhat.

Guess anyone can be a moderator nowadays. 

I told you that property taxes can be reassessed every 2 years and that in the 8 years that I have operated in the market, they have increased only moderately.

All that would be displayed is a redacted DL for visual confirmation and a contact form for the selected LL, no defamation, no indication of whether or not they were evicted or didn't pay, just a simple 'Request Contact Info by Email' form (would contact the specific LL by the provided email at registration).A site like this would have to be heavily moderated for LL registration and a LL adding him/herself to a particular tenant as a previous reference.  

Maybe I need to call in a favor with some of the moderators to shut this down?

A lot of people seem to be stuck on a SFH market "Crash" or a "Mild" speed bump.I think the SFH price decline in many areas will be moderate to severe. e.g. 25% -50%.So I'm ramping up to buy even if it's a 20%+ decline.

I'm on the liberal side of moderate, and still try to help people, but I've been taken advantage of more times than I can count (though I do stop once this happens- it's better to take a chance on people as some will appreciate it.

There are times where we are evaluating an opportunity in a moderate to high-income area and we find high crime, while other times we may be evaluating an opportunity in a so-called low-income area & we find low crime on a specific block.Vacancy rate- If the crime is low we may still increase the vacancy rate a little bit more & see if we can hit our numbers.Capital expense required to acquire and hold.....Bottom line- We establish a criteria based on data and take the emotions out of it.
