Instead, with bull-headed stubbornness, I decided to give real estate one more push.

Are you persistent enough, dedicated enough and sometimes just stubborn enough to be the first one in and last one out of the 'gym'?

When I used to sell way back in the day when i wasn't yet an agent, despite the 'Principals Only' warning boldly plastered all over my FSBO listings, agents nevertheless lined up at my doors with the usual pitch even when notified in writing to cease communication, still wanting ERTS, throwing fits and all, sometimes even disrupting my open houses under the guise of bringing 'buyers ready to sign' that were 'on their way'  yet never showed.Granted over those years, there were 1 or 2 out of dozens upon dozens agents who were up for the challenge to compete with my own offers, but most others were just too greedy or whatever and just would reiterate the holdover clause like parrots, pretending to not understand holdover clause is why exclusive agency without right to sell remains a viable compromise and formidable challenge to truly measure up to.have you as investors (and/or as agents) ever had similar gripes with stubborn/aggressive agents who yet weren't up for the challenge competing with the owner(s) themselves to find the best offer that successfully closes?

I would love to hear step 2 for the extremely stubborn tenant.

If you get 25% equity right of the bat, then real estate is a great investment and I would suspect even the most stubborn banker would have to admit this.

She is stubborn in her ways.

She is so stubborn that she wont move out even if we tell her it for her best.

Often here is what is happening: we are finding a fair share of people who paid $60,000, $76,000, $86,000 to around $120,000 at auction from 2008 onward (through the mortgage meltdown) for 3-4 bedroom 1500 square foot + homes on 1 to 10 acres who are clearly stubbornly looking to 'cash in' at 2 to 3 times what they paid by keeping the homes on the market beyond 6 months!

Sad.I would suggest texting him/her your intentions for record and finding out the laws in your state and if you have the time and stubborn personality like I do, fight it.      

Oh, one more thing, instead of asking her to confirm receipt of the letter, which she may stubbornly refuse to do, just say she should contact you to work out a mutually acceptable appointment for when you go back in to inspect.
