continue with the eviction, and dont accept the security deposit as rent payment, i would be surprised if you had to per your lease. regardless, situations like this is why I hire a PM, they have ways of persuasion, and dont take any flack, do what you can within the law to get them out as fast as possible, and go after them for any losses.

However, I did not ever see how people could hop onto sales marketing and be a sleazy salesman drawing others into a something trying to use lingo that just sounds unusual and doing things to build a "data base," stuff like that pretty sure if you're just real with someone you'll go a lot farther than trying to use persuasion techniques on someone that knows about your persuasion techniques,.... huh makes me sick, Don't get me started on amway people, those are the worst and most pushy people I've ever met, and so far, I'm noticing more and more of those personality types in real estate, they aren't there to help you they are there to fuel your hopes, and there to ramble on for hours to push their objective into you, huge turnoff!

They were very persuasive but in the end my gut feelings won out and luckily we did not purchase the $30k mentoring program!

Appreciation is a very market specific topic that I am sure we can write essays about and it is more volatile than returns from rent.

I guess he thinks that his very persuasive podcasts don't constitute 'talking' to me. 

Also everything I mentioned is not to be perceived as monumental, honestly writing a 5 page essay at midnight in college was a more daunting task.
