My overall goal is to ditch the full time job and get supplemental income for myself so that I don't have to work full time and commute anymore.

I ditched a client after my gut kept saying "She's high maintenance" Turns out I was right - she got a property under contract, then walked.

However, they are asking me permission to build a 12-in wide v-ditch drainage on my side of the property for water that flows down the hillside and prevent the wall from eroding.

The house is pretty reasonable now and we were able to up rents from $3100 to $5400/mo.I started talking to some lenders to refi Because i think i have an 80% ltv on lock to ditch PMI.

There may be some local plays to be had where owners are over leverage and can't bridge a short term cash crunch or large players seek to ditch under performing assets at fire-sale prices, but nothing across the board. 

That would be kind of a last ditch effort.Have you found success with pointing out the instances they have approved a similar request in your city?

The pet organizers made an last ditch effort to put $20 towards the $80 room charge.....WTF did Mandalay put in? 

The ditches and flower beds are never cleared. 

It's more than just making money and using people for your profits (because isn't that what corporate america does and aren't we all trying to ditch that?

Seek eviction as last ditch effort but only do so once they allow evictions again.
