Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goalsMany investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast: either of these behaviors will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals.

I’ve seen Seattle defang their police so they cannot stop lawless behavior, which encourages it.

Although it's human nature to want to give people the benefit of the doubt, this is not behavior that ever turns around for the better.

I'm not usually surprised by people's poor behavior but this one hurt a bit.

You could also remove any locks between the basement and main house or the downstairs bedroom if they exist to discourage this behavior.  

Do not reward this defIant behavior and offer cash for keys , that is a hail Mary last resort . iN the sprirIt of tryIng to save money In an evIctIon , I’d make one last phone call to the tenant and explain that you are going to march down to the magistrates office and throw them out unless the animal is gone by the following day .

@James Wise At a minimum, sub to deals require knowledge, highly ethical behavior, and an ability to perform.  

I understand we're in a hot market and speculation is driving prices out of its fundamental behavior but, I was wondering if my analysis is lacking some type of piece or my math is from another planet.

Yes that might work but it's essentially blackmail and that's just wrong, encourages bad behavior.....I'd throw her out on her A** first

2) Are there fines for any agent or investor guilty of such behavior?
