Again, no hate for them, as they themselves don't know any better, BUT that doesn't change the fact that it is all wrong and these experts are doing more harm than good by making others believe that their way is a good way.

In that case there is no harm in you paying cash for properties.

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.

If we do nothing wrong, we don't cheat, lie, steal, ect, then we have not harmed ourselves.

When they ask what the issue is you reply the endangering residents is bad enough but then trying to extort an injured tenant harmed in their managed property due to their negligence, wow that's bad BUT then to work to cover it up..... well I'd just hope Ellison is pro-PM and anti tenant, oh yeah, not so much huh.

Prop. 21 is unnecessarily draconian and will likely cause more harm than good.

No harm no foul.

There are ALWAYS unintended consequences to these kinds of laws/rules and the hubris of the govt to believe they can perfectly legislate so as to avoid anyone being harmed/hurt is what will ultimately be 'our' collective downfall. 

Under the topic "Build, preserve, and retrofit more than two million homes and commercial buildings to address the affordable housing crisis" the text from FACT SHEET: The American Jobs Plan says: Eliminate exclusionary zoning and harmful land use policies.

No harm no foul yet, but be sure to stick to the lease.
