He has over 150 properties and still has managed to meet with us on multiple occasions, eager to share what he knows. 

I've had a number of occasions where it was a real pain to have both accounts.

There have been two so far that I have almost got to go through, but the seller has backed out last minute on both occasions.

I am in search of a mentor, military or not, who is available on occasion for phone conversations, bouncing ideas off of each other, and a potential partner.

That said, on a few occasions we've had renters who have asked to get out of a lease early for various reasons.

Account Closed it depends on market and location...availability of comps is difficult to find on occasion and you'll need to get creative to assess value.

I can tell you that in over a decade of working short sales and closing hundreds I’ve had maybe a handful of occasions where somebody wanted to simply remain in the home for as long as possible and needless to say that doesn’t align with my goal of selling the property so I never took those on. 

I have on occasion broken this rule and taken tenants from the previous landlord (mistake) and I could never get them to live by my system and I always ended up terminating the lease. 

I hired a contractor who I have worked with previously on several occasions for smaller jobs at my rental properties and always did a great job.

That's not the main issue, but I felt pressured on a couple of occasions by the lender.
