Marie Poe  I think there are a few practical considerations which will make the states job in aggressively prosecuting landlords that aren't on board with the section 8 agenda difficult to impossible to enforce.First, as I said, the government requires you to be qualified and certified to take section 8. 

If I were the stockholder, I'd be telling that CEO to get off his personal agenda and go take the business transaction, I didn't hire them to have an easy job, to pass judgments on others who are qualified to conduct business with.  

@Jeremy Pace - maybe I am an idiot, but why have both sign?

And, just live life more on my terms- at my pace. 

You might have a winner here but I am betting that you have missed something or have incorrect info from your ins agent (needs to know the property is a rental) / property tax numbers (look for state/county and CITY property taxes not just county taxes) / attend a HOA meeting meet the leadership and get a feel for their agenda IE New roofs Paving etc that will cause fee surges.

@Max TanenbaumI agree with @Jeremy Pace and @Victor N., the line of questioning is fine, it's how you are wording the questions, and the overall tone of your e-mail that seems to be the issue.

And another angle on this discussion: why would not a well-paid professional working in SF wish to relocate abroad, lower the amount of working hours, taking a long vacation, enjoying life at a lower pace, with less stress, and investing his or her savings somewhere else?

@Jeremy Pace, I'm just trying to picture a scenario where the police battered down a door, then battered down another door.
