How can someone be so suicidal is what befuddles me. this is one of the biggest misnomers running these days were investors think Section 8 is guaranteed money .. it is if the house and the tenant plays nice.. these folks get kicked off the program for all sorts of reasons.. usually for fibbing.. not just refusing to sign..this is classic your section 8 tenant gets kicked off you get no rent now you have to kick her out and her kids which usually leeds to eviction etc.. there went the cash flow for one to two years.. 

I feel like I'm reading a serial novel and the chapter ended with a classic cliffhanger!

Classic and timeless.

He was a recently widowed hoarder of the worst kind BUT the home was a classic.

Documenting and pushing concerns raised over health and safety issues is also a classic leverage-move played by scam artist tenants.I'm not saying the tenant's concern is unfounded, but tenants asking for over-the-top precautions is going to add substantially to your costs and timeline.    

It sounds like a classic risk/reward issue, not like an "open-shut" case as depicted from all my research I've been doing so far.I'm trying to realize if I'm missing something here, will appreciate your inputs.Please forgive me if this question seems trivial, I tried looking up the answer prior to this post but most of the cases I've seen spoke about different cases (low initial liquid assets / high cash-flow properties + snowballing / etc)Thanks

Seems like a classic case of professional gatekeeping to me.

While I see this partnership as a fairy tale, my girlfriend does not view this as the classic Cindarella story because she thinks I am having more of a relationship with my business partner than her now.

Both classics and still relevant.

The classic example of legit "unforeseen" is that your mom who lives 3 states away comes down with terminal brain cancer and you want to be near her for her final months.
