How in the world can they claim there is mold then dictate when and how it will be remediated while you provide alternative rooming... and now they want A-Z... consult an attorney and get out of this situation ASAP.

I've let tenants dictate terms too much and that stops now.I've had to learn my lessons the hard way in this business.

That would also dictate what you need to do.

The bigger point is allowing the tenant to dictate improvements on your property.

Also, best practice dictates discouraging clients from selling directly to a buyer or heaven forbid somebody who thinks they can makes a few bucks working a price gap.

My opinion is you dictate the rules, and you stick by them.

That doesn't really add up, and what people are going to find out, which is one of the main economic principles we must never forget, is that the market dictates prices.

Previous decisions and planning dictate how storm resistant our ship is. 

We see the risk in losing our equity, or losing the use of our equity, by having it stagnate in a house.Some of feel that by leveraging to the max is more risky to them, because they don't have the control/influence needed to reduce the risk.Some feel that taking on someone elses problem (NPN) isn't risky since they are able to have a series of controls in place to either sell, repair, or rewrite the non-performance.Still others have more control over flipping since their market and their rehab abilities dictate more control there.It isn't the direction you take to invest that's risky.  

The more doors the better IMO but whatever is currently available may ultimately dictate that.
