I could suggest role play, but we all dislike that.

Most people dislike that idea  because they want to save the extra fee you have to pay to the broker, but somethings it's the difference between paying a bit more to get a loan and just not get a loan or one with worse terms.

While at lunch I spilled out all my concerns and dislikes to the realtor and she told me that we were going to skip seeing the rest of the homes I had picked in this area and that she was taking me to another section of town where I had two homes picked out to see.

When I'm researching new cities to purchase rentals, I google forums where actual residents discuss their likes/dislikes. 

Even though you are undertaking a rent-to-own (I really dislike that term, but that's another thread), at this point in time you have a lease and an option contract.   

Lastly, I'd recommend you tap into your dislike for cold calling.

 @Steve Morris: I don't dislike Spokane but am not crazy about it either. 

I remember I guess it was a year or more ago when Chris asked what investors disliked about other PM companies.

I very much dislike the program

I can tell by the feedback I've gotten so far, that many investors dislike the percentage approach because of real-life experiences where a blanket percentage might have led them astray.
