If he deserves his deposit back he can have it when he gets evicted.I dislike despicable tenants and never cave to blackmail.

You caved to him before, so he's going to continue to push the envelope.

Maybe 1 out of every 20 groups people say "We'll take it" as soon as I open the door and they walk into the man-cave living room. 

If you are headed into a dark cave, take someone with you that has been there before.Invest in people, not deals.Work with people you know, like and trust.Marry a partner who has a similar financial blueprint as you do.

I went to a dinner many years ago in VT and met a delightful old guy seated next to me. 

To include to copper wires being stolen from basically everywhere imaginable, the entire ceiling in one of the bedrooms was caved in, and to top it off it looked like there could be foundation issues.The property was on the market for about 6 months and I imagine its appearance scared off all other would be investors.

But renting is usually the way to go unless you want to partner  ours was a 700k investment so it is not without its cost. but that included our man cave IE hanger.. its was a Hanger condo  .. and I would go Cirrus way before a 182 I have 20 to 30 hours in 182. they are nose heavy and slower.. safe though.. and better for grass strips etc. 

Your Pm should also know this is not realisitc36k to me means the basement is caving in..
