Hi @Jacquelyn Ceasor  The listing agreement between seller and broker shall dictate any fees due in the event of a seller removal from market.

I agree with @Jim Piper that if this is to be an ongoing relationship it is especially important that you make a stand and not allow this person to dictate unreasonable terms to you.

I would drop the price to $600-$625 and keep the $25 application fee.The neighborhood dictates the rent price, not the landlord and not the "niceness" of the unit compared to its immediate neighbors. 

One could a priori BRRRR “high cash flow” properties under whichever ARV is dictated for them by the market.

The property will dictate your check-in frequency.

But what this illustrates is that it's not the size of the firm that dictates your experience. 

If the foreclosure doesn't take place, there is no way to have a deficiency because you don't have a number to use.In most states there are laws which dictate how much time a Mortgagee can take to respond to a payoff request.

I never let my tenants dictate terms or call the shots.

can dictate your "how." 

Tax liens in my state are above the usury limit of ten per cent.State law will dictate if a small lien can foreclose, again, usually not and not in my state, but is required to be paid at transfer.
