Eventually your compensation will increase to match your (increased) value.

If it is annoying you though make sure you are being compensated for your stress. 

Any compensation I offer is declined. i have rented another unit for him to use during the day - not acceptable.

If I was able to find a partner out of state, perhaps a real estate agent, what would fair compensation be for that persons efforts?

So far our compensation has been the sales commission at both ends of the deal ( we are real estate agents) and hourly pay for the work.  

You are essentially being the GC and keeping the project on budget and free of "shrinkage"(overcharge or theft).If your contractor is going to the suppliers for supplies they should be paid for that work/time via hourly rate agreed to for that task OR you can do COST-PLUS, meaning whatever the cost of supplies plus some agreed upon percentage that is added to the total to compensate for the time spent by contractor delivering supplies, this can get tricky if you don't know what you're doing, and contractors can exploit this too, if they are experienced and so inclined.

I have met a lot of good workers in different trades that I would like to hire on my own next time, my only concern is not having workers compensation for them if something happens and one of them gets injured.

An objective look at job prospects and their compensation is necessary at this day and age.

I was not asked to make the review nor compensated in anyway.

(Also, Some municipalities do have special rules that apply to victims of domestic violence)As far as breaking the lease early here's my (probably limited) understanding of the law: absent a clause in the lease that relieves the landlord of a duty to mitigate tenant's losses, under Ohio case law, the landlord has a duty to mitigate losses by re-renting asap and only charging tenant for time the property is not rented.
