You're in somewhat of a sticky situation now as you do not want her to expect you to cave every time she asks for something, so you need to somehow strike a balance. $500 is steep, but I'd be inclined to offer maybe $250 off next month's rent and tell her that the expectation is that when she moves out the place will be spotless.

STRIKE SEVENTEEN!!!

Since the post I have received a few responses from corporations but with basically one investment as of now, $500/hr consults and $2k basic packages don't strike me as the best fit momentarily. 

im waiting for the house market to cool off a bit, i figure ill have a better deal and cash flow once the purchase price i strike that deal at comes along. 

Purchase price: $15,000 Acquired for our Pathway to Homeownership Program, we bought the home for $15,000 plus costs, and spent around $5,000 on a fairly light, mostly cosmetic renovation.From early 2020, we had the home tenant-occupied on a 36 month lease-option at $800/month (inc. prorated taxes) with $50,000 strike price.

There is a balance you need to strike between cash flow and risk.Also, I still work full time (in Real Estate) 40-80 hours a week depending on sales and other issues.

We definitely want to strike a balance between pressure to move on and empathy.  

It didn't strike me right I only offered it due to the aforementioned factors, mainly her not making enough otherwise. 

The mound has been raised, the ball has been deadened, and the strike zone has been enlarged in the last 5 years.

Of course some rich people want things their way and like to throw their weight around, but strike up a conversation and see where it goes.
