I have seen models that show the two metro areas converging in time, not unreasonable to envision.

However, I don’t think it is unreasonable for the company to get paid some money at the beginning of the relationship and a bit over time for training you either.

Why is $500 unreasonable?

At this point, it's unreasonable that you expect the lender to take the entire loss while you profit from this deal.In fact, not only is it unreasonable, but I'd be willing to bet that the short sale agreements you sign will preclude you from legally regaining possession of the properties short-term.

Expecting one guy, or even one guy with a helper, who is MOONLIGHTING, to complete that much work in anything that resembles a reasonable period of time is unreasonable.

That said, I don't think his allocation is unreasonable for someone who already has millions and needs to put it somewhere.But to build wealth starting with not much capital, RE is the way to go, IMHO

It outlines terms in a great degree and I actually reviewed the lease which has the following clause “Access by Landlord to Premises – Subject to tenant’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), Landlord shall have the right to enter Premises to make inspection and provide necessary services, or show the units to prospective buyers, mortgagees, or prospective tenants.”

Wouldnt want to be seen as the "chill" landlord but wouldnt want to be unreasonable and overreact. 

First of the complaint states that 1/2 of the security deposit was unreasonably withheld. 

They said it happens more than you think, (typically when logging or clearing land), and there were three ways to calculate the replacement value of the tree: First, what is the cost of buying a 20+ year old tree, transporting it and planting it in the same spot; Second, have a property assessment done showing the approximate loss to the property value based on the percentage of landscaping destroyed; Lastly, have an arborist come out and do a calculation where they "rebuild" the trunk based on the cost of a smaller tree of the same species.I went with the 3rd, as the other two just seemed unreasonably high.
