Here's the latest: Bert Whalen was sentenced Tuesday to more than 3 years in prison.Good for you for covering this story.

I tried to provide constructive feedback on why it was not worth continuing with RentRedi and all the sudden I couldn't type anymore (it was about 3-4 sentences I got cut off). 

It's against the law in some jurisdictions (OR, WA, CA and others) to even approach someone in a distressed situation unless you are an attorney, a realtor, or a registered "Distressed Property Counselor" and you can't benefit by buying or wholesaling the property.Equity Skimming and related penalties of sentencing are detailed in 12 United States Code USC Section 1715Z-19.

Apparently, local jurisdictions here are saying they want more affordable housing, but in the same sentence will also say that there will be more regulations, more environmental protections, and more hoops to jump through to develop starter homes. 

There are about 65,000 investigations into this type of mortgage fraud per year, resulting in about 5,000 convictions with the average prison sentence being 18 months.

Sellers should want a sentence in which the tenant confirms their security deposit will be transferred to the buyer, and the tenant will release the seller from liability for any deposit refund after the sale.

You read that last sentence right.

Your sentence is misleading, Jason.

Since “thank you” seems to have gone out of style, I now limit responses to one or two sentences.

So, in actuality the divide between “good” PMs and “bad” ones is probably no different than any other service provider, be it real estate broker, mortgage originator, etc.The key word I has in my sentence was MAY; as in MAY be hazardous to your financial health.
