For example, several thousand pounds of gravel - cheaper to have it delivered by a materials company than to buy bags of gravel at Home Depot and haul it ourselves.One thing a lot of people don't seem to know about, regarding getting rid of stuff, is that your local trash company may already do large pick-ups of junk as part of your trash service (included in what you already pay). 

@Ewa Reza I agree, I don't think it makes economic sense for people to accept buy out offers if they are thousands of dollars under market, but some people like the idea of getting a big pile of cash - perhaps it is penny wise pound foolish, or maybe it is the imputus to move to a more reasonable area to live.

But the marketing people pound on how safe it is how passive it is and it gives these fragile and susceptible first time investors a false sense of security.

Picking up that phone can be like wrestling a 500 pound gorilla :).  

The buyer can pound dirt and find someone else to work with.  

That being said it is pretty hard to prove occupancy and remove unwanted extra tenants.

I will keep pounding the pavement in my homeland of Cincy but I'm definitely not going to pass on a good deal in a market where I own properties.

This time I finally see about a 35 to 40 pound raccoon, there was apparently another way in.

I've seen contracts written by Realtors, by car salesman, by insurance agents and even a few loan officers, I wouldn't use any of them, they are usually penny wise and pound foolish.

My response is penny wise, pound foolish not to list with a realtor.
