RobertJ, I just wanted to say I’m glad to see your still posting after the “incident”. Also, I’m not sure of the imposters intent, (joke or malicious) but either way I thought it was unacceptable. As I read some of your posts I am asking myself, is this true, but I also have learned from some of your posts. At any rate, I’m glad you weren’t bullied away, and thank you for sharing your experience, real, modified, or made up I still enjoy reading them. --71.248.xxx.xxx

I have many, wonderful experiences but tend to share the negative ones here so others don't try to take short cuts instead of doing things the right (not always easy) way. --47.156.xx.xx

I think the LA rental system is about to cave under its own weight, something is going to give. And when it does, it will not favor LLs, especially mom n pop LLs. --99.59.x.xxx

The situation in the province of Ontario many of the smaller rental housing providers have sold to very large corporations which kick out, renovate then in some cases double rents. For the last five years annual allowed rent increases under rent control where less then increases in annual operating costs. There is a austerity provincial government that states it is business friendly where will have wait to see what happens. --69.79.xxx.xxx

Keep up the good work Robert J. I enjoy your stories and insight. As I said in a previous post you have provided me and others with some useful information. We all have some things in common that happen to us as landlords and then depending upon your tenants, your location, your neighborhood, your number of properties, your years of experience and etc. will bring in different aggravations, experiences and challenges. --12.47.xx.xx

Robert J, this doesn’t mean I’m not gonna still give you an occasional “oooookaaay” ;-) --71.248.xxx.xxx

I suspect Robert J doesn't care too much what anyone thinks. Personally after 33 years of doing this without his amount of volume I'm not surprised by any of his experiences. Don't confuse confidence and experience with hubris. --75.89.xx.xxx

Its a wonder why anyone does --24.62.xxx.xxx

I think you could make a really good book out of all these landlording stories. --73.231.xxx.xxx

Lisa nailed it... when you have a lot of experience, you go through more than most.... plain and simple... Robert, you need to come to the convention so we can all talk your ear off! Glad you're here! --173.25.xxx.xxx

Some of your landlord stories remind me of the plot in "Chinatown" with life imitating art. --67.170.xxx.xxx

I'm a dedicated reader too. Add me to the list! --96.241.xx.xx

Robert J, I too second #22's suggestion above. It's been a while since I've last seen you and I (and I bet many others) would love to see you at our Convention next year. If at all possible, make plans to join us and participate in our evening round table discussions. A round table discussion with you will be like no other:) --100.4.xx.xx

Times and regulations have changed. Some for the good and some not for the good. --70.16.xxx.xxx
