Basically, for the first 120 days only full price offer will be accepted is all you need to know

I didn’t sign a lease with the tenant. But I gave them a receipt for the amount that they gave me.

I would let the tenants know that it doesn't work that way...

The security deposit is held in a trust account and can't be used prematurely.

Since they didn't pay last month's rent in advance, they need to pay December rent when it is due. They are contractually obligated to do so. Since they have been great tenant's thus far, it would be in their best interest to not breach the rental agreement at this point.

After possession of the unit has been returned to you, then you will do your final accounting and refund any monies due back to them from their security deposit. Note, you need to allow time for make sure they have paid their final utility bills too, to prevent liens against your property.

In our book, security deposit goes toward paying for damages first, unpaid utilities second, unpaid fees third, and lastly for unpaid rent. If you release the security deposit prematurely and the tenant owes you for anything, you'll be at risk for not getting paid. But of course you know that. Stand firm and fair.

Stoked to be out in Manhattan! Thanks for letting me come out and share @Darren Sager :)
I live my entire life last minute, so no worries there ;)

* Did you know you can still make more money on Airbnb, even legally, under short-term rental regulations?
* That you can run most businesses remotely (with the right strategies)?
* That it's possible to buy cash-flowing deals in high-priced areas? 
* That you can use your networking and RE investing to achieve your goals way sooner than you would have thought?

Lots of folks doing it in the high-priced Bay Area, and I know you can do it too, with some diligence. 
Looking forward to sharing my experiences, answering any questions, and having a good discussion about what is working today. 

Hopefully we'll get some folks from NYC, Newark, Jersey City, and Hoboken.
Gonna be a fun time. Let me know what you'd most like to hear about, and I'll focus on that :)
Looking forward to it!!

I just earned my license in march of this year. I found my school online by visiting the states website regarding the exams. They show you The exact number of people from each school that have taken the test and their pass/fail rate. Armbrust Real Estate Institute had a noticeably higher pass rate than the other schools listed and so I signed up with them. They charged about $200- $300 more than some of the other schools but I feel it was well worth it. I did everything online and they specifically told me to never take naps which I found odd at first but their method of teaching really worked for me… I passed both tests with great scores and overall I felt the actual test was easier than what they had us do in class. Hope that helps!
