She offers lots of coaching on this particular strategy.

There were coaches that would give feedback on the SDAs, but if you wanted any type of real consideration, you had to pay by the hour to have a coaching call, OR you could upgrade, yet again, and then you would get 1 coaching call.THEN, I learned that Michael doesn't actually HELP you raise the funds, nor does he commonly partner with any of these members on deals. 

If I rent to a friend or family, they know and accept before we do business that this is my livelihood and I will operate as business as usual, even more like a father coaching their sons team, they will probably hold greater scrutiny.

If in your shoes, I would pay them to coach me on management skills specific to your state and market.

For instance, think of a favorite coach you had or a teacher you loved, but you knew would say no to a silly request or excuse - so you just never went there.  

At the same time, you do not need to be dragged into tenant's personal issues because you are just the landlord, not some sort of mediator, life coach, or police.You could send a stern letter to ALL tenants (even the ones saying they're being harassed) reminding them about the right to quiet enjoyment.

My attorney as well as other investors have never had a problem explaining this to the tenant, and coaching them on paying rent on time.
