I paid a little bit on the higher side, and was delighted with the results. 

They squealed in delight and started scratching his back.

Try to dig up some documents that could prove helpful before you just cave and pay (but I'm always the type to try and improve my situation rather than just give in).

If I cave in to their demands, even though late October next year still isn't an ideal time to find a new tenant, it would still give me much more time to prepare and find a new tenant than what the tenants are threatening to do this year.

Now, Michael, if you are making that kind of money and doing it all yourself in only 16 hours each week, I will be delighted to buy you a steak dinner anywhere you want; with adequate proof, of course.

Let @Santiago @Santiago Belmonte or me know if we can be of use to you in this and we'll be a delighted part of you building multi-generational wealth through real estate investing!

(LOL)I might have to cave and accept pets at some point, but I have massively huge custom windows and drapers, light carpet, and antiques.

Ceiling caved in with insulation .they didn't fix.

/snarkI know we like to laugh about the image of the lazy contingency lawyer looking for the low hanging fruit but I can guarantee if you, an employee, a contractor or anyone on the property on your behalf directly or indirectly causes serious injury to the tenant, or God really help you, a child, the existence of an LLC owning properties mortgaged to the hilt will delight the attorney looking to take the case.

@Pete Harper  I agree with you....there are gems, but there are plenty of junk too.Sometimes I wonder if there is a market for distressed lumber, that you could conquer with all the caved in homes.
