In order to select a good tenant the property manager needs two things: Multiple applicants - If you have only one or two applicants, you are stuck.Financial history - Past behaviors are a good indicator of how people will behave in the future.In Las Vegas, the vast majority of tenants renting properties in the $400/Mo. to $800/Mo. range live cash based lives.

I'm hearing of people paying 90%+ buying foreclosures on the courthouse steps which is not sane behavior.2.

Is this normal behavior?

Like a number of others I have watched.Point being this is still TYPICAL BANK BEHAVIOR around here.

That may be learned behavior that they can unlearn.

I find his behavior unprofessional and disrespectful, though apparently, not that uncommon.We'll keep looking and again, I thank everyone who has shared their thoughts and opinions.

Getting busy was a factor, BUT there was always time to find in between jobs and sleep that I coulda billed.It was weird when I stepped back to observe my own behavior.

No, it is never too late to change your behavior!

You were not under any compulsion to accept their terms.Leaving it on MLS as "Active" after an offer is accepted is a violation of our MLS rules, which state that the status must be updated to "contingent" (CTG) within 24 hours after an offer is accepted, and to "under agreement" (UAG) within 24 hours after the P&S is signed.  

I think the most value is in behavioral economics.
