On a more serious note, I agree with some of your steps, but some are not only drastic, but wrong in the sense that they just can not be done.Example: Your list #9: Imagine your wife is attempting to collect rent from a past due tenant and they have agreed to pay her upon her arrival.

Does your property management have a plan in place for emergencies, or do they just collect the rent?

And then "gay rights" supporters threatened to get it back through legal action.When do I get a government subsidy for my sexual practices?

Once they have been dissolved, they have no rights or authority.Oh, and you can COMPEL them to account for how the money has been collected and spent.

Why not collect any important information and put it into a separate forum.

Well, you would have already collected a deposit from him (we get 2 grand) so a) you are already up a grand and he loses his deposit b) delay the closing (if your buyer is laying in the street somewhere half dead that won't be a problem)c) Sell it to someone else because you would have normally had a back-up buyer ready)d) Walk away from it and you still made $1K profit

I am sorry to say I know someone who has collected now 12-14 months I believe.

If I had an investor who was willing to pay me a finder's fee for a property, how do I go about collecting the fee?

You don't want the seller collecting your payments, not paying their loan, then you losing the house when the seller gets foreclosed.

That would be usual practice if you can't get out.
