Law is illogical and emotional.

The reason many investors sour on rentals is they allow emotions to get involved.

You bought it with an emotional attachment (home town).

Well said.With all the laws (maybe just here in WA) requiring us to screen applications in order received and emotional support/therapy/comfort/service animals and whatever else, my goal is definitely not to bring in every un-screened applicant I can.

They're sobering for an emotional guy like me.  

Follow up 30 days later or so with a phone call, but nothing too pushy or frequent.You may just find that she has some time to work through her emotions and all of a sudden she calls you and wants to work with you.

The reason you come up with this price first is that often we become emotional and want to make a deal work because we have put time into researching it or we just really like the property.

In NY state, there is a form she'll have to fill out to file, and she'll need to write a statement detailing the first, worst, and most recent abusive incidents (can be physical or emotional).

The tools and resources included, amoung other things, in the enrollment teach more strategies (and yes, those strategies are taught elsewhere) New investors are also more likely to get emotionally invested in a deal because the initial reviews of it by themselves and their agents seem to promise a high profit, and they can't quite let go of the excitement that "promised" profit.

Any sort of service that targets people who make rash decisions out of emotional desperation is often looked at as predatory.
