They do not take responsibility for anything that will cause them to lose money.

If it's been a while is it worth losing this tenantship due to one rent?

Or, more likely, you'll lose significantly more than 10% by making mistakes as an amateur.A large percentage of the people I manage for were managing homes on their own before hiring me.

I don’t really want to lose him as a handyman as I have heard great things, but I fear he may not want to work on the house if he “fell in love” with it and then told he can’t live there when its done.

Perhaps start with a small amount of cash and move up until you have her interest -or lose yours.

in almost all states a PM must be licensed and the rent money must be in clients trust account.. violation of client trust account will cause PM to lose license.. that is your threat.. and its free :)

Dan wins the case and you lose your portfolio. 

I've kicked myself too many times for worrying over a few bucks worth of mail after losing a deal due to trying to create a perfect list :-) 

If you prefer to work with another loan officer/lender, as long as you have been fully pre-approved, I don't care and I'm not going to lose a closing because of it.However, there is one lender where consistently I have had problems across multiple loan officers. 

Are they worried about losing money and being on the hook for the mortgage?
