I'd be happy to talk through the strengths and weaknesses with you.

Since you are experienced with HMLs, you know their strengths and weaknesses. 

Once you do this, excuses start to sound very weak.

You may want to live in a world of Wild West, anything goes business (I won't mention the orange haired political elephant in the room) but I assure you, your ignorant, uninformed, and weak defense of this sort of activity is not common.

It is a weakness, but a noble one.

All lenders have strengths and weaknesses, staying close to them is the only way to learn what each of those are.

I've found that a good mediator will identify strengths and weakness for both parties and help them resolve their differences. 

Its a month to month and im in a weak position even to ask the tenant to renew lease now and they seem they are willing to stay they just need a solution to the issue.

In many cases, whatever weakness got them in that position (lack of focus, lack of drive, failure to take responsibility for their destiny, etc.) will also make it difficult for them to succeed in real estate. 

My though is the weak agents are going to get lost in the shuffle.
