No third party management. Housing is something I am perfectly OK with requiring a landlord to be personally responsible for, and that means you can't shunt inefficiencies onto some faceless management corporations who exist as a buffer between landlords and the human beings. One perverse incentive in this market is the ability to distance yourself from the human consequences of profit based decisions. If you have to deal with it personally, and your community knows your reputation, the renter/landlord dynamic becomes a lot more civil and personal. Banks shouldn't own houses. People should.
