For these reasons, brokers may discourage their clients from engaging in retrading and may instead suggest alternative solutions for resolving any issues that arise during the course of a commercial real estate transaction.

And if it is not related to the market cycles then you ate in a bad project and you should try to resolve the issues or again dump the deal and take sone losses. 

Drop a $1,500 retainer and get started resolving this.Best of luck

Im open to any ideas, but I dont think that would resolve my credit issue.

Of course, we would like to resolve this amicably, however we don't think it will happen (tenant did not send a check for this month once he found out that we may be sending him a bill if his deposit ends up not being enough).We have a very strong lease with a clause that clearly indicates tenant is responsible for any pet damage.

To make your money you can improve it (clean it up and have it surveyed... or have title issues resolved during closing) or list it fsbo at a still super low price but more than you paid.Taking advantage of people would look something like.... mailing to that same list and telling them that they are very close to losing the property whether they are or not, lying to them... like telling them that you are offering market value, telling them that you can close in seven days and then stretching it out to 45 days because you don't have the money, offering less to a seller that can't make rational decisions, telling them that they get nothing if it sells at a tax sale when the state has a clear system for overage collection etc...  

The HELOC I paid off rather quickly after resolving all of the issues.

You could resolve your concern over signature authenticity by requiring him to have the lease notarized.

If there are tenant problems I want to learn how to resolve those issues.

If someone else has the same problem and we haven't locked the thread, it probably means that the problem hasn't been resolved yet.
