I've been on the phone all day long and nobody I know is having an issues whatsoever. 

I'm assuming the lawsuit had some teeth considering they settled, and I think it's always smart to learn from others' mistakes.

This is not a fable, parable or embellished in any way whatsoever. 

If not then you may have squatter issues which is no fun whatsoever....

To pretend as if investors don't have any sort of hand in price-fixing whatsoever, especially in midwestern LCOL markets, is ignorance at it's best. 

You have to make sure your numbers work, meaning you don't want to put gold teeth into a dead horse.  

I have heard every sob story in the book and with it being winter and around Christmas it’s like pulling teeth to get tenants to pay on time Any advice is appreciated

I clearly state in the training my results are not typical and most people that buy any real estate program will probably not make any money whatsoever.

There is no logical reason whatsoever the property manager should get to keep that money. 

At least that way (like others mentioned) you can, if you choose to show the sell that the numbers don’t work out if you were to offer more and you weren’t try to insult them.But as a side note, and I don’t mean this as a direct insult to anyone here that is a broker (because I don’t know any of you personally) but I have dealt with many, many brokers over the last 30 or so years and even had a major issue like what I am about to say, with our own personal property purchase, but sometimes brokers can either ruin a deal or even worse, can lie through their teeth and attempt to sabotage a deal if they feel you are not offering enough because that means their commission will drop too.
