Also taking into consideration life operates on "island time" and any job that can be done today will be put off to finished tomorrow and meeting times are mere suggestions, if one says 12noon that could mean they show up anytime from noon to 3pm-- which can be very aggravating for people coming from the states.

Smart for them for using automated systems, but aggravating for the person who gets all the messages.Any time an ad goes up for a property in an area they're buying in, an automated text, e-mail, or robo-call comes to me.  

He said he's getting aggravated at how landlords won't have anything to do with him because of that.

"In addition, the trial court noted several other aggravating factors, including Bigelow's failure to successfully complete probation, his pattern of physical abuse toward women, his history of substance abuse, evidence of multiple instances of molestation toward the victim, and his violation of a position of trust."  

Take enough deposit to cover the possible aggravations and time spent if there is an issue. 

. - You get all this already because as you admit you're somewhere in between, which is the smart place to be :)  I'm right there with you - most of my properties are F&C, but I also understand that I am trading return for lower levels of aggravation - i.e., my investment doesn't require as much of my time & energy as it would if I wanted greater returns.

Look at the violent crimes (aggravated robberies, car-jackings, homicides).

It made it very aggravating for no reason.

THEN fees and fines...Depends, probably, on the expected overall cost, (time, aggravation, money, etc) whether it's a deal breaker.FWIW, a client (not mine) put an offer on a house recently.

By the time I've factored in the aggravation and expense involved with the lawyer and the arborist, I almost might as well just get the damn tree taken out.
