We were promised that we will get our deposit back right away, I still don't see any progress made there.

You need to be able to walk away at any time in the transaction.3) Then get a cheesy day-glo sign on the public right-of-way promising access to a property that doesn't exist or write one of the "gosh, we're honest ma-and-pa people just trying to make a living" in handwriting scrawl font and mail it out.4) Get it in contract and then make sure the buyer and seller never know who each other is. 

Then issue a fake ID and sell the property, if there's a loan I can even pay it off (maybe harder to do - requesting payoff letter).I can even open title and escrow and have them take care of all the details and payoff requests if needed.find a new buyer who knows nothing. 

Best of all, when you do get around to cashing them out years later (having made every payment on time as promised), they are primed to become your private lender.

Have offered promising kids 25 to 30 bucks an hour to start...no dice. 

Send an email 2 min after the conversation detailing whatever you were promised on the phone and by whom.

I don’t want to be that person to not keep my promise to a seller.

You can self-manage but be ready for the old tenants to potentially try to “get ya” or say something was promised (improvement Reno) or a “no rent increase” was promised.

One day you feel like you’re the best and the next day you feel like you’re a fake.

Terms are close to mentioned above at 100% financing and they performed as promised, but you really need to have your numbers together.
