After about 30 properties, several hundred miles of driving and over 60 hours of time burned, he got his next rehab from another agent, leaving me with zero compensation for my efforts or expenses.It was after that incident that I started requiring this kind of agreement with a minimum commission.I'd say that if you want his help, sign the contract.

I'm not "burned out" because of noise complaints, or really at all.

It always sounds easier to get out of a burning building than it is in reality. 

@Cassidy Burns Great, thank you for all the information.

Well this quickly burned through all savings I have made for this unit.

So when I'm talking to you guys about burn rates and I'm talking to you about getting the systems that you're currently working tight, I'm serious about that.

You certainly don’t need it to burn down and get nothing.

Sure, some companies will continue to offer WFH and some employees will never return to CA, but most employees will realize they need to be in the office in order to have a meaningful impact (read: get promoted --> read: make more money), and hence they will return.This exodus is 100% temporary.

I can see how this method would shy away sub-par contractors and/or bad ones, like you said, burning through cash too quickly or even presenting rehab not necessary or too expensive.
