We inherited a PM company with the purchase (90-day termination policy to enable cancellation of future bookings) and it was miserable, we should have paid the penalty for leaving early and gone with our current PMs (they are awesome!).

It was a lot harder and I wouldn't have recommended it in the past as you needed to either have an account with Leader Bank to make an EFT transfer for deposit unless you wanted to scan and upload a check - which was miserable. 

Ultimately, if you decide to evict them, they're going to be the ones making your life miserable because you live right next door, and they'll be pissed at your for expecting them to hold up their end of the deal.I say it again: Landlording is 80% people; only 20% property.

Figure out what aspect of real estate excites you and would seem enjoyable to you and follow your passion.For me, rehabbing a house would seem like a miserable punishment, while other people LOVE it.

Now that you are on their radar they may make your life miserable.

Obviously, I'm never happy to see a good tenant leave, but when they leave because they are successful enough to buy their own property, I'm certainly not going to make their life miserable.

If you want a constant aggressive situation that will only escalate and create larger problems, then don't give him what he views as control and "respect"--ie --notice that you are coming onto the property--you will find if you simply notify him, you will de-fuse the situation--a hostile tenant can damage your property and make your encounters an absolutely miserable situation--our problem tenant is like yours--aggressive, demanding and volatile--just a major pain --so we just placate her & give her notice & it seems to work--

The people in place already doing the short sale might well pull it off, or create a miserable tangle.

How are you supposed to afford major repairs or upkeep with raising prices of repairs, taxes etc.... rent control is messed up and will make your life miserable!

They are the worst tenants who will make your life absolutely miserable if they get into your unit.
