I feel your pain!

My firm in Raleigh charges 8% of rents plus a $150 annual administrative fee (up to 10 properties, inclusive), and that's it.  

It was a pain (it took 4 months to close), but it was the only way to make the numbers work.

Would you pursued a B.S in Business Administration(B.S.B.A) with concentration in Real Estate Investment Management while at the same time working part-times as a Real Estate agent or would you pursue a different major?

It has become painfully obvious in the last several weeks why so many investors get their real estate license.

No, just inconsiderate.The fact that a borrower is left hanging without explanation is certainly in bad form, however I'll bet that the BP Pro made a concious decision that there was no benefit yo continuing conversation and chose to bail, rather than tell @Stephen Anthony what might be painful feedback. 

However, if his diminished capacity affects his cognition, for which you are not qualified to determine, Rather than some administrative person or social worker, the person in charge of an adult with diminished capacity is called a conservator in most jurisdictions.

The eviction process was very stressful and was definitely a pain in the hind end and somewhat costly (although the courts granted me some of my attorney fees back also which was a surprise to me)....but in the end it was well worth it and now the next landlord will be able to see what he is getting into with this guy because I took the steps to go after him through the legal system rather than just pay him to go away.     

Hi Kevin, I agree that property management is a huge pain!
