Tenants do pose unique situations to all owners/investors and so I was simply deciding if I should enforce my lease and systems or allow the tenant to decide how things should play out. 

I want to also point out that I am not looking at this property as uniquely investment (since I am living there), so if I can live there for free then I am also making money.Here's where a little bit of the weirdness starts.  

Another unique resource is peoples personal blogs/websites that can be found in the signature.

I'd imagine jumping so quickly into so many properties would present it's own unique set of challenges.

Yes, you will probably have to approach most all people who influence the decision maker (who may or may not really be the PR).USP = Unique Selling Proposition.

I'd like to introduce myself, my names Kalman Debski, very unique!

One of the things our agent also said was the construction was unique (stone) and that it would be expensive to replace thus high replacement cost. 

A couple things I look for... the condition and age of the cars...do they have lawn care...are there a few toys in the yard?

Any advice or unique approaches to this nightmare?

I work with investors all the time on financing and its very common place, but the ones that have been very successful have developed systems and unique processes and have stuck to it over, and over, and over again.
