Who knows if she would even be able to pay $1000 in a security deposit all of a sudden... she wasn't planning to move, and probably didn't figure she would have to have a deposit saved up.

I'm in my car, in front of the house, talking to a neighbor. all of a sudden the electrical inspector drives by slowly. he passes the house & goes 2 doors down, pulls into driveway, stops, pauses, reverses, & drives by us again.

In an area that can appreciate north of 2%/year and really do 2-4%/year for next couple years (area was flattish for a couple years and surged 8% last year.. not a lot of room to develop further in a growing metro area).$206K purchase price.

Or is there is a sudden crash of over 50% in real estate then I would be in the hunt right away.

The property rented the day my cleaning crew moved out, in fact I helped the new tenants move furniture in.Due to him paying later and later he got further behind and when he moved out suddenly I realized he was over 2 months behind.

Whatever resonates suddenly becomes easy.

Others enter them manually "at some point" so you're bound to run into the reverse as well where something old wasn't there and then suddenly appears.

It's not a good sign they are significantly late and suddenly want to pay by check.We accept checks - but now I'm thinking I need to update my lease that if a check bounces, only money orders will be accepted.

You just might have to make a sudden turn.

The phrase "Happy wife, happy life" is suddenly rushing to my mind...No but seriously, this something you guys will have to work out together.
