Where do you think I stand in terms of my contingency and EMD. 

Quote from @Neeraj Shrivastava: Stand firm and tell them you won't pay it.

the home I had in 85 sold for  180 the first big run up was 85 to 90 when things doubled or more thats when Hi Tech really got into gear.. in Silicon Valley.

I don't own stand alone RV/Boat storage but do offer it as part of larger traditional storage facilities. 

I don't really like to paint that much so I want to pick something that will stand up to a small family.  

Costs them more and takes longer.All the Contractors are standing around laughing too....

While there's less bedrock to stand a defense by on this gut based approach, as long as the criteria that's compelling the denial or delay does not violate the law, it should be fine.I've been leasing property for 13 years and have dealt with pretty much every personality and all woks of life.

I recently paid $50K for access to a “tribe” where I, as a complete newb with no relevant industry experience at all, was taught to stand up a webpage touting the benefits of multifamily and then come and start posting here.I was taught to attempt to attract money from people like you who have recently come into a large pile of wealth and have no plan whatsoever.What I will do is take your money, and give it to this random other person in my $50K mentorship program who also has basically no experience raising and deploying capital.When I give them $100K I have raised from you, I will be given a 10% finders fee of $10K.

Up to this point I haven't shared with the homeowner the exact amount of money I stand to make on it -- only that I have options to profit off the sale.

Some people spend a fortune on scuba gear, guns, boats, mountain bikes, furniture, whatever.
