He has promised countless times over several months (5 months to be exact) to come back to us with "a proposal by the end of this week" via email on 11/28/23 and "we will get this wrapped up this week" via email on 12/11/23 - and we are already in the first week of February 2024 without a proposal and without any progress in coming to a resolution.

You don't want to burn any bridges by miscommunications or not properly addressing resolution paths, buy-outs, exits, etc. in a legal manner on paper and signed by parties.

I respect your comments and your advice.I find it slightly harsh in part and do not agree with it entirely, but I will respect your views.The great thing about forums is that we get to share our experiences, good or bad and that experience may in part help others going through something similar.In the comments received, some pointed out that it appears this is something that is happening, sadly enough.It was a shock to me as I had not experienced it.I am certainly entitled to share my experience on the forum.I do not view it as gossip for if you will notice from my post I have refrained from mentioning said listing agent, company and/or property.So again, I do respect your views, but please understand that when you ask me to communicate with said listing agents, my posts show you the lengths I have gone to.I would beg to differ on further outreach if not directed at finding a resolution, to someone that clearly is/was against me viewing the property in the first place based on my gender.What is that going to accomplish? 

In January, I made a new years resolution to own two rental properties in 2016.

I have more clients from CA either moving to TX (saving on state income tax) or purchasing rental properties in TX than any other state.The state does come with it's headaches (cash out refinance rules, higher property taxes etc), but there is no dispute in the growth in various cities.

If the tenant failed to show up for the inspection, the tenant loses the right to dispute the damage found after the inspection.

Hi @Jeremy Hazelwood,Mostly all the 'credit repair' services do is dispute everything, hoping some of the creditors lost the old paperwork and can't prove that you ever owed them money to begin with.

Disputing or disagreeing with the initial terms of a sales contract to counterpart a small percentage to you (big one for the Broker and ultimately the Agent) on a RE transaction will not look good to anyone (except you, the seller). 

If you are bidding on a foreclosure sale , never communicate with the person being foreclosed on for a multiple of reasons.case and point, if a property is being foreclosed on and there is a les pending (means pending a law suit) on that same property, the smart money is not bidding one dollar and know AND if they did and also communicated with the debtor, any party disputing the foreclosure would say "conspiracy" seen this happen If there is a dispute on the probate, you will be paying lawyers  in that case.

If a tenant disputes, I always work out a concession that they are agreeable to.
