But on the other side of this coin I have no sympathy for people who move in to units that aren't glowing in radiant splendor perfect, and complain about it.

The contract price was $339k less the concessions.The other difficulty for this deal was that the purchase price was well under 1/2 the exit price as the rehab was extreme, therefore, the lenders all had their red flags waiving high on this deal.I met the appraiser and provided (on the day of appraisal, not before) the following information: Comps I pulled with photos and descriptions of each, list of repairs with costs and invoices to back it up on my rehab, and letter of explanation of the acquisition price vs. the contract price.I also had a nice conversation with this appraiser over the phone the following day explaining my sympathy for how hard they have to work and how the HVCC rules have really screwed them.Wouldn't you know it, the appraisal came in at contract price which, in my opinion, was very generous.Then, just before closing and after the buyer had already signed loan docs, the lender comes back with "we need a second appraisal.

I read one time that a guy tried sending SYMPATHY CARDS to executors/PRs - whoa, that did not go well.

Gain sympathy from the court/jurors as it is seen that the defendant cannot afford proper representation. 

BTW I want to be clear I do have sympathy for the poster in this and it is very unfortunate they were taken for $6k.

(No sympathy please, this is simply the facts.)Oh, and the current tenant in the house thinks they are buying it from the buyer.

The prior history was there before to indicate it was a bad idea, but she rented to them because she felt sympathy for their situation.

In most parts of the Bay, the "pro-tenant" nature of the judiciary tends to be overstated because no one - including progressive judges - has much sympathy for tenants making $175K+ and not paying their rent. 

No sympathy here.

😂  I suspect you came to the wrong place for sympathy.
