And you best believe that there is only 2 ways to deal with non pay.Deal with it yourself.Pay someone else to deal with it for you.Neither of those two ways to deal with it involve someone working for you on the hope that they'll get paid only if and when they can extract money from your tenant lol.

Figure that out with your screening process and evictions become less meaningful. 

Thus, our mutual opportunity is to try and stop the current rent control initiatives by presenting meaningful alternatives, such as the ones suggested earlier in this thread. 

Now, bringing it back to real estate investing, I've realized that although the people around me are hard workers, are good people, have high standards for their health, and have personalities that I love, they don't necessarily have the same type of goals for wealth and meaningful work that I value, meaning I've put myself in an environment where I'm working against the grain!

That way they spread the risk out and have meaningful savings. 

Thats not even factoring the net worth and equity that will be extracted to continue to grow my portfolio and likely 5x in 3-5 years.I hope I am not coming across the wrong way. 

I'll put my prediction in writing: this will have no meaningful impact on *existing* neighborhoods. 

A market and neighborhood that is more established and has higher growth should allow you to exit or refinance faster while extracting a larger percentage of your initial investment.

Talk to everyone and make meaningful relationships with as many people as you can.
