I don't like the 'For Rent' signs for precisely the reasons that Brad mentions, although I am sure they can be effective.

Josh:The only thing I could dig up by that precise name is an aftermarket photo viewer/organiser that is a plug-in to Apple Mail (and possible Safari).

I has the required functionality and seems to do the most precise interest calculations of the 6 odd programs that I tried.

I suppose you have to be more precise about your comps for a flip but for rentals I feel you can pretty much tell after a couple of minutes inside a house whether it's priced correctly for your needs, if you know your niche market well.

I am a lifelong Clevelander, very active in real estate and I would need to go down and walk/drive the streets to know where to buy and not buy - you need to be that precise in that area.

I know you're trying to build the community, not to just ignore problems.That being said, I certainly do agree that building others up is the best strategy, and that's precisely what this site is about!

That is precisely what I was looking for. 

3) Make changes to prevent the root cause of the problem (better instructions, guidelines that are more precise, more training, change the procedure completely). 4) Measure to see if there is improvement with regard to the original "problem".

I would suggest instead giving them notice to move (tell them you've decided to sell, if you want; in California a landlord does not need to give a tenant any reason for notice but it may convince them a little more strongly).Please don't think that this, my second reply to you on this forum, is meant to scare you; I have been doing this for almost 40 years and certainly don't know it all, but I have dealt with precisely this issue and I see the warning signs.

A technician showing-up to install activate/install a service is not to run any new cabling or install a dish unless they are provided with a written letter from us instructing them precisely what the may affix to the property and where.A few years ago an installer for a local ISP drilled a hole in through the wall of one of our properties - in spite of the fact we had pre-installed a conduit specifically for communications cabling when we air sealed and insulated the building envelope.
