It isn’t always the case.Our team will need direction from time to time especially when unexpected expenses come up.Over the years we have witnessed many investors with magical expectations of making millions within a year (My name isn’t David Copperfield) and that just isn’t the case).If you aren’t willing to buy multiple properties and hold them long term, you will mostly likely loose money.I’ll repeat that for everyone :)If you aren’t willing to buy multiple properties and hold long them term, you will mostly likely loose money.

As can be witnessed above.

But no reason to take the leap accusing them of taking advantage of people just because they suck at marketing themselves.

One of the biggest misconceptions I witness time and time again with investors is regarding their ROE (Return On Equity).For example, if you acquired one of your SFH for $100,000 and paid all cash (Mortgage Free) and we subtracted your expenses at $2,000 from gross rents of $12,000, you would have a NOI of $10,000. 

It is interesting.One of the best places I've lived for landlord's rights was Indiana, I lived in Bloomington, which is a big college town, so obviously, the management companies had to deal with some pretty horrendous situations (which I got to witness firsthand while looking for a place to live!)

You can't control irresponsible pet owners.And absolutely if I allowed pets and witnessed my tenant not cleaning up after a pet or littering you bet I would charge them. 

Think about the middle east violence, it's called a warzone because it's a war, and chances are you will get hurt/shot/witness violence if you go there... kinda sounds accurate   for some really, really bad areas i know, hence why they are called warzones.
