My residents do not touch a brush or roller unless they are a professional painter by day.  

You don't want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.If this woman has "your best interest at heart" as you claim, she should be willing to absorb some of this loss on her side of the ledger, or at the very least work out some kind of credit moving forward.It's not fair to paint them all with the same broad brush, but it seems when it is not their own money being spent, many PMs seem quite cavalier about this sort of thing. 

@Bryan ClementTo me, working out is like brushing my teeth...and I never go to work without brushing your teeth

You will fall down many times but you'll need  to get up and  brush yourself off and continually try again until you acquire your desired affect. 

So we go to the wilderness to a secluded beach (our normal route)... but as we fly through the brush, on a HOT curacaoan day... the horses get thirsty and tired. 

There are many scam ones that run a little brush through and charge you, but the reputable ones can fully scrub the ducts.

Also, Hal has some good suggestions like brushing your teeth right away and others.Highly recommend that book!

I just brush it off.

The point many have tried to make to you which you have rudely brushed off is that people are buying with significant downs...sure the wealth distribution is wide but many are still buying and investing.  

Stay strong, STAY POSITIVE, be creative, learn, brush off the negativity, take advice from people who HAVE DONE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO, and above all, live your life the way YOU want to live your life!
