You have to record the Warranty Deed.You should either update your knowledge or keep to things you know about.there is always some sensitive noobie with 5 posts that gets all vitriolic after reading half of a post.

Some markets are more rate sensitive than others.

I think you may be a bit too sensitive about the request, especially since they seem fairly cheap and things you said yourself you don't mind doing. 

And a key note, when you correctly frame things as a discount, if/when a good tenant turns bad, you'll thank me you did it that way because that's when the teeth come into it and billing defaults back to full rate.

Make sure ALL parties on title to any real estate sign on as guarantors so that your promise to lien has teeth ;)If the guarantors do not own real estate, then you have weaker guarantors; in this case you have to make sure the guarantors have enough income to cover their own living expenses plus the rent.

We just grit our teeth, smile and try to do as they ask.

It will test your property management skills though, but since you are a professional real estate agent, that will help you cut your teeth and earn some respect in a market that is overloaded with agents.

Give me a 40% loan on your personal residence then, stop paying me and you won't be able to count all the teeth showing on my smile at the foreclosure sale, which by the way will be in some very obscure, but public place hundreds of miles out in the middle of nowhere as I wouldn't take the chance of some other investor having the opportunity to put his name on that eviction notice when it gets posted.

My tenant is VERY sensitive about poison.

I will add, tenants search by price and location first AND they are extremely price sensitive.
