The moment the naysayers realize and acknowledge that your presence is unwavering—and that your success is something to imitate rather than judge— they eventually will give up and find another target to aim their negativity towards.

I made up a saying which I think should be acknowledged. 

It is a cool property for kids with all kinds of places to play hide'n'seek, nice back yard and all.When talking to your guest, acknowledge that clicking the button to indicate the property was not suitable for kids was clearly not enough of a note and that you will emphasize the issue for future guests.

Quote from @Spencer Cuvelier: David Greene addresses this in a recent podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...First, you have to acknowledge that a lot of people have been successful in real estate primarily through luck.

Some people acknowledge the yare in distress, others ignore it and treat them like every other seller.

I ended up just emailing him that I will be using his security deposit for lost rent and he acknowledged that he would not be getting any money back.
