Although not recently, I've taken CC payment for rent (via PayPal) and believe that the "CC on file" methods would be fine if the tenant didn't dispute the charge.

Lender wants to dispute the appraisal (which is fine), but i'm thinking i need other options.....helllllpppppp!!!!

It's the only way I'll truly learn this business.My day job is working in the default resolution dept for a major bank.

But sticking to my resolution to be an optimist, I'm chalking it up to a year of how NOT to make money. :)I've always wanted to get into rehabbing, and while I have no real estate experience (does watching DIY or HGTV count?)

The reason for this is it keeps identity thieves from accessing your cash accounts,I highly recommend that you dispute this with your credit card company.

Over my long real estate career I have been involved in all three at one time or another, either as a principal or as an expert witness.The amount of money in dispute will determine as to whether or not it is economically viable to engage an appraiser, accountant or attorney on your behalf.

Another problem I see, is if repairs are as a result of tenant abuse, which then becomes a dispute between tenant and property manager.

It makes a difference in the 14-Day Notice cure resolution.

You may want to review your deed/agreement to see how disputes are supposed to be handled and should have references to housing laws that should be followed.

I am not disputing anything Joel Owens has said but I will add to it.
