With that said, while moving out might have been the best thing you could have done for your own emotional health, that doesn't mean your LL has to "eat" your moving out with little or no notice. 

Sorry, but I am just being realistic....impression and emotion is everything. 

All was going well as I was promised no or minimal principal loss until recently I was issued a "Non Performing Loan Reconciliation" where I lost over 60% of my principal with no interests earned for 5 years.I'm typically not an emotional person, but I was extremely depressed and infuriated when I saw this.

Don't get too emotional with it.  

I have found I can typically get more doing this because unlike an investor sell there is much more emotional attachment by the buyer.  

Set your price and don't let emotion make you bid higher.

Drama and trouble.You can be firm, friendly, and helpful but also not just throw away money simply because a tenant showed anger or other negative emotions.

Focus on people you know well, who trust you and vice versa and who are generally easy to work with and have a matter of fact and not an emotional personality. 

Their presentations are designed to play on the emotions of sheep, peddling products and upgrades and coaching...all founded on the idea that anyone can do this, you don't need money, financial discipline is not required, etc.If you find a seminar, do yourself a favor and Google the name of the individual, the seminar, or the company.

Your wife got a emotional sale.
