I think I have two choices:  a very carefully worded response that acknowledges and repairs the things that are reasonable while making sure that I establish that I get to make the decisions about the property I own, OR just suggesting that they would perhaps be happier elsewhere.  

A better estimate of cash flow, especially with a property manager, is "cash flow = rent / 2 - P&I payment".I will acknowledge some folks buy cash flow negative properties speculating on appreciation.

Do you acknowledge the death or make it more general?

So, with the new lease we got the move-in inspection done and had him sign a document regarding how the security deposit would be handled, so we are all good there.I fully acknowledge that I am making some mistakes, but I am learning as I go on this.I will likely try and ride it out a little while unless there is some new large issue or he keeps leaving that door open.

No city or town is exempt from crime today and Tenant acknowledges this.  

The agent acknowledges the seller's goal.

The first thing you do is to acknowledge that lot rent and POH rent have nothing in common, and break the park into two business components: 1) real property (lot rent) and 2) personal property (POH rent).

I have been dabbling in real estate for a while but readily acknowledge being a novice, and have been basically "winging" my negotiations.

Also I would suggest you create an itemized list of what you will deduct from the security deposit that they have to sign and acknowledge of these fees, if you would like what we use or anyone would simple message me and I would be happy to share.If you decide to go down this path I would make sure you have full disclosure upfront, and also I would discuss this with your real estate attorney to have them sign off that you are not violating any laws or have any tax implications on this matter related to your state tax or federal tax laws.

It's good that you are acknowledging the possibility of burnout.
