In dire circumstances, this strain can escalate to foreclosure proceedings due to the inability to meet mortgage payments.

Everyone who has responded has provided tremendous insights, I’ll definitely look into the YouTube channel as well.Quote from @Mindy Nicol: Hi Scott, I have 2 rentals that I self manage and am really happy with Lodgify to coordinate messaging, sync calendars etc. 

Overall, RTR has a tremendous reputation in the industry and certainly among the BP community. 

The property is actually worth much more now than it was when I owned the business because the lease has tremendous value.

We contacted our realtor for a showing and offered what they were asking for with an escalation clause up to 300K.

We are a Wealthability client and have referred several of our clients to them - they have helped us tremendously.

But even with your and my experience (licensed first in 1983), this guy knows more and has a tremendous amount of confidence in his abilities.I sure would love to hear back in a couple years.....

We saw such a dramatic escalation that it only makes sense for a correction. 

Poor work and poor service get called out publicly, for example right here on Bigger Pockets, and reputation drives business.So, contrary to your statement, myself and my colleagues have tremendous incentives to provide excellent service and protect our reputation.

While some less experienced Realtors may shy away from courthouse sales due to the complexities involved, I recognized the tremendous potential this presented and dove in headfirst.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
