Not sure if this applies to you but if you are planning on building lots of units it could be a natural fit. 

These are more sensitive.  

This is so abusive and extortionist in nature, and so disconnected from any sense of reality I'd really have to question the general intelligence of the persons presenting such. 

We wouldn't even offer to clean this up as lawn maintenance is 100% on tenant unless an act of nature causes damage.Review your lease and make sure this is covered for future unrealistic tenants!

Otherwise it is nature and misquotoes , ticks, bees and spiders live outside. 

I'm naturally a nice person so its not that hard for me.

It's also in our nature to want to help.

We do have access to a HELOC on the property which we leveraged to purchase our current primary residence (balance borrowed has been fully repaid at this point) but we would rather not pull that lever to roll into a new property given current interest rates and the adjustable nature of the HELOC. 

People are doing it, so presumably it works.FWIW, I invested in Japan for a few years, but lack of rent growth, lack of appreciation, concerns about natural disasters, and just general lack of confidence in the J market led me to shift focus only to the US.

The tenant is not as much focused on rent when they are strong regional to national in nature but the best spot they believe drives the most sales and profit annually.It's the lesser quality smaller tenants that are more sensitive to rents because their model is not often proven with scale or over time as much.So you have to know what you are buying and what to do with it.I buy same stuff for cash but I am the GP on the syndications and my LP's put in minimum 200k per deal as accredited investors.To convert the bank to medical would be very expensive.
