The facing trim can be taken off carefully on each side exposing the rope and weights.

So you need to have your Approach loaded into the auto pilot you need to know the weather you need to know your final landing weight speed decision height and go around protocol and that has to all be briefed before the approach lest you run into a sea wall in clear blue skies with no wind or weather.Its really exciting to do these last minute deals but you need to be fully prepped otherwise your just waisting a lot of time and energy on something that has no hope of happening. 

In retrospect, of course, you shouldn't have closed with them still present - spoken promises tend to be worth their weight in air.

Good or bad, the old manager holds weight with most tenants so always better if they corporate. 

In the meantime.... find a mentor, and offer to help them with stuff, a mentor can be worth their weight in gold, and real estate is all about connections, so while it may not buy you a house, investing in a friendship with a good mentor will help you a lot down the road!

Monitoring my company's KPIs is my life.

I'm not sure what a landlord can do with a "packrat" tenant (except possibly not renew the lease when the time comes) but monitoring her behavior may help. 

With the relative stability of real estate (in certain markets) and rental income providing double to triple what treasuries pay, I can see real estate taking an increasing weight in portfolios to fill the void.  

If you are too uncomfortable, then ask them to extend it for a month to give you time to monitor the situation and potential outcome are some ideas.

The only other thing I would recommend is some monitoring mechanism to make sure the is no waste of the underlying asset.
