Get ARMED with information and under no circumstances, get into an argument or verbal-shouting match (I know it's tempting) with them as they can become emotional and you have to walk a very DELICATE line when dealing with problem tenants like this.I'm NOT providing legal advice: but if you have a lease (contract law) and they are in default, it doesn't take a genius to decipher who is in the wrong.

Sounds like he was trying to divert attention away from the fact that he fabricated those other offers.

I'm considering taking a job as a home inspector and transitioning out of the granite fabrication/installation , kitchen and bath remodel field that I've been in for 18 years.  

Susan, your best bet is simply going to those chinese pre-fabricated cabinets.

I know that this may be a delicate topic finding a mentor, but Im willing to learn from professional investors, dedicate a lot of time to them, and to put that knowledge into the real world.I'm very thankful for your help and answers, and hoping to get started.Thank You

As to other ventures in connection with RE, steel fabrication business, car lots, grocery store, auto service garage, construction firm/general contractor, C-store/car wash and a bar, cafe, lake resort.These came arising from basically partnering as a credit or business partner (or both) for under capitalized entrepreneurs who couldn't swing the RE purchase or lease of facilities.

You can not fabricate "motivation" when they are NOT motivated to sell.So the next thing to ask to trouble shoot your issue... is...

Some is more delicate than others.

I think every electronic gate still needs a good padlock of some type.The next problem with electronic gates is they require a massive amount of maintenance since there are many delicate sensors, moving parts and bad drivers often destroy the gates and don't report that they crashed into it before it completely opened or closed.I think in your case you should see how business goes without the gate and if you keep all your units rented then you don't need an electronic gate.

I will be completely open and up front without fabricating anything for the purpose of transparency.
