Dont use your emotion when screening tenants and dont trust anyone.

Does the copy draw emotional involvement?  

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. 

Unfortunately, the brass Kitec fittings allowed a chemical reaction to take place which eventually weakened the fittings causing them to fail.

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.
