I have found that appraisers kind of have no idea how to get good comps for 2-4 unit properties so they just use the 1% rule and massage their adjustments to make the numbers work. 

I started with a gentle reminder that the late fees had accrued and, per our lease were now considered rent, and that took care of it this time around at least...  

I went to school for realestate, culinary, nursing, business, horticulture, massage therapist, now going to school for Bachelor in Social Work .

Send me a private massage.

And the salesman read my thoughts through my eyes and gently reminded me that this piece of functional art represented 18 months of a man's life, hand tying every knot. 

Nickle and dime her on the deposit.Lastly, document everything day-to-day just in case court proceedings come into the picture.Be firm, yet gentle.

(Turbo Tenant) I truly feel you guys gently helped me unwind my ball of nerves and with your note above, your company has obviously hired some awesome employees. - I barely heard from the previous company this morning and they didn't even address my woes, completely numb.  

That being said, if your tenant doesn't move out when the due date comes, just gently inform them that you will file and eviction that day.

Hey @Gentle LeBrane welcome to the site!

Numbers can be massaged and inflated - you need to know what ingredients went into the recipe to know whether or not you want to eat it.Anyway, it looks like a lot of the finer points have already been made here, just thought I'd throw my two TK cents into the fray.All the best to you all, investors, providers, and skeptics alike!
