Yes. Informed tenants are better tenants. Everyone is welcome.

10) If I take the advice of one of your articles and it turns out to be wrong, what do I do?

This question is based on a lot of unwarranted assumptions.  We do not purport to manage anyone’s rental properties for him, any more than the Wall Street Journal purports to manage anyone’s investment portfolio.  If you read our articles and columns you will see that they are aimed at discussing practical problems and practical solutions to them.  We strive to offer a variety of possible courses of action and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each.  Where one is recommended, the writer will give the basis for his recommendation.  Where opinions are given about the meaning of specific statutes or judicial decisions, the statutes or decisions are quoted or cited.  In each case, we leave it to the reader to make the final decision.  If he is better informed, the reader will make better decisions, but the decisions are still his to make.  Those who wish to delegate the management of their properties to others are invited to engage the services of an experienced Certified Property Manager.  We will be providing listings of such as the site grows.
