In IT we have to automate to make are job somewhat easier, same goes for investing though you will have some hurdles to climb but once you cut your teeth, you automate/delegate tasks accordingly.  

Also through conversation, your agent will start building a relationship with the other agent which will help with negotiations (your agent should approach this conversation sensitively). 

Sure, some posts, may scare off some people but I don't think you can be that sensitive in this environment.As for most extreme opinions which I think is what you are asking.

My personal opinion is I receive rent income for the rent of the property and there is solid client basis seeking to rent the property, I don't need to use my power as landlord to offer some complicated "buy here, pay here used car lot whose true business is in repo'ing those cars from the poor as soon as they default and restart the process".Please don't feel this is any form of an attack, I am simply sensitive to the blighted reputation of landlords - contracts such as this are one of the legit reasons the public doesn't like us. :)Lastly - I have sold several homes to tenants...I set them up with a bank who typically pairs them with a credit repair specialist...the tenant can buy the house at any point when they are ready at the market price whatever that is when they are ready (if the home appreciates then I gain, if the market were to crash like in 2009 by 60% I would decline sale and facilitate the the tenant in purchasing something on the market) .

I have requested a schedule of assets.How do I know a personal guaranty with teeth when I see one? 

I do feel bad they are losing their home, and want to be sensitive to their situation, (and would like them to not trash the place.) what are the requirements for the cash, do they just have to get the big stuff?

I think your best bet is motion sensitive cameras and lights - and if you have a house across the street put them there too so you can get two angles. 

If the property doesn't appraise and I'm the seller now I just went down this road with your (at a discount to my list price none the less) and now I've got to discount it more if I want to do the deal, PLUS I've been off market for 2 months for possible other buyers).Let me say this as well:  The market is VERY sensitive when listings are even just a small amount over the true market value.
