And perhaps they realized that they couldn't staff permitting and enforcement for the program. 

And that goes to support staff.

For me personally long term rentals add another layer of complexity and staff needs.

Lender A is $500 cheaper in lender fees because they dont pay for some program or staff who, among other things, doublechecks info inputs and documents for accuracy.

Boy his staff was first class all the way. 

For that SMALL landlord, turnover/vacancy is VERY expensive because it takes them longer to prep and fill the vacancy and they are also paying the PM a fee for tenant placement whereas the large landlord is using their staff who is being paid whether they handle a turnover or not.

Can $25k in more marketing or equipment or staff increase your profitability even more?

This is the reason I quit being a moderator because of something that went mildly off the rails in the forums, and then it was completely censored because I responded to staff in the forums after they mentioned me.I think the moderators do an amazing job and should be given more pay or credit or anything.

If you were green and new to this game, would you find the book that was recommended from a BP staff member valuable?

While the staff at RTR do try to work with you and accessible, it's important for potential investors not to be swayed solely by glowing reviews and comments.
