You should notice I didn't say "Positive Review" or "Great Review" - this is critical to the psychology of such statement.Overall, the key to using cash for keys successfully with a stubborn tenant is to approach the process with empathy and open communication.

You are right about psychology being at the center of my advice to you.

If you don't want to long-distance landlord and find it to be a pain, then sell it, 1031 exchange it or owner finance, like you mentioned.

find peoples pain points and add so much value that they cant replace you

Losing $50k through this is not ideal, but I’m fortunate that it is not a painful sum to lose.What I am seeking is advice on how to leave evidence in the public record that could be found by future landlords and limited partners vetting the GP, who’s seeking $8M total / $250k each from accredited investors per facility as he seems to have a plan to move around the country opening facilities.A $57k bill could be a devastating to many landlords, and I want to help prevent them from experiencing a similar situation. 

The past year, I've learned market tenants in sub 100k regions are a pain in the ***.

Our pain points: 1.

Yep, the non-disclosure law in Mississippi is a pain.

@Don KonipolI actually laughed out loud at your comment about the seller being 'compensated' $100 when a buyer exercises their option to withdraw—it’s such a painfully accurate observation.

The person that is comfortable in pain will always beat the person that avoids pain.
