The next concerns are whether they may be likely to inflict harm on others or the property.Some questions to ask the pet owner to make an informed decision:how long has the tenant had the pet?

SELF-INFLICTED (as with almost every other problem that tenants have)!

@Jeff Gallichio You are, of course, free to make your own decisions on these things.As for me, I refuse to inflict marketing techniques that I hate receiving on others. 

it's a self inflicted downward spiral that we see way too often. sadly they drag their children into the abyss.

They are citing that we should be responsible for the poor condition of the garage since it had the tendency of getting stuck and that they had experienced repeated instances of stress and frustration in trying to open or close it , a statement which does not make sense , since they had inflicted the damage so that the garage door had become unhinged.

I'm familiar with other industries and they really don't suffer from the false perceptions or the types of abuse inflicted by gurus or other advocates of business operations the way our real estate industry does.

Since you have no historical taxable basis to write off against that sale price, you may find yourself having to pay taxes on the full sales price, not just your profits.Happily, there is a way to heal these self inflicted wounds.  

More than I could count cause in this market it happen to me so why not just buy the property yourself, eliminate the stressful seller and deal with another kind of stress with 75% you mention.In this business your always going to have some sort of stress but I believe getting stress from agents wasting your time is much more better stress than sellers constantly changing thier mind and inflicting false hope that your might or might not have a deal.

Not the case, the reality is the we are creatures of habit, to change this habit you have to inflict a bit of pain and like Tracy mentioned up the fee.

Self-inflicted are the worst kind.
