We will review them and make sure the numbers on this contract still work out the best for us"1) Makes them put it in writing2) Reminds them you can walk away as well3) Makes them wonder if you have other options that blow things up if they want to change4) Puts an "us" in there, allows them to not know if you are the only person to work over (great for people who don't like the pressure on the spot)5) Lets them realize there is a review process on your end and they will be waiting for an answer6) Detaches emotions by using the words numbers, to you it is just a number deal.Good Luck

I am assuming this also might only be a temporary benefit because the following year it will almost certainly be in the positive because of tenants. 

At the end of the day, its your business and you have to treat it that way (without emotion).

He could also become your biggest nightmare if he destroys your house because you are evicting him, personal feelings and emotions run high, doesn't sound like a good idea.

I agree with @Bill Gulley, But the one thing he missed was that the head of it all is only "ONE GUY" quite possibly soon to be "ONE GIRL" or one "ONE EMOTIONALLY UNCONTROLLABLE & UNPREDICTABLE GUY".  

All buyers and sellers do so off of emotion.

I'm more than happy to pay that commission if I can get a 3rd party of proxy that brings in less emotions to the table to get a deal done at a favorable price.

You would think that in a situation where the house is owned by a bank, there would be less of an emotional attachment to the seller, and the agent would then look at their numbers and what they can earn.

Even though it's temporary?

I got healthy physically, emotionally, mentally and now am working on financial.
