Like others here, rather than needing confirmation from others, I'll let my own success and enjoyment from my freedom and enjoyment in life to be my satisfaction ;)On the other hand, I learned a lot of valuable feedback about risks along the way from some more experienced investors, so don't blow off any person you hear who are talking about the potential negatives.

Additionally, I was under the impression that I would be able to retain the ORIGINAL  documents and that once the note was paid off, I would return the deed to her   and file a satisfaction of mortgage with the county. 

They are grateful and patient.  

Just need to be patient 

A lot of humorous help in this thread, but the bit quoted here is dead-on for serious guidance.Require that all maintenance requests be in writing, and that they be sent to your office address / place of business so that the staff that you have dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction can take care of such matters.That should limit things reported to you to the more serious issues, and that you seem to want brought to your attention anyway.Now, if she writes down the sorts of things that you mention she is happy to chat about, then your otherwise great tenant is likely going to be a long-term pain.

When rented, you switch the button to unlisted and it takes them all down within 24 hours so you dont have to go to each site. it also takes 24 hours to populate to all the sites when you first activate the ad so be patient.

Why do you get involved in personal lives of people -If this guy cheated on his wife , maybe your doctor cheated one of his patients, your contractor cheated his business partner. 

It's a long process before a patient reaches senile dementia.Good luck!

but be patient....Here in Jersey my street floods on an "extreme" high tide.  

I just recently passed the dc real estate license exam and am patiently waiting for the approval of my application.
