I developed good relationships with church ministers and professors on campus who constantly refer me really good quality tenants.  

I say defence is the best offense in real estate. 

Plus a lot of times when you see that someone has a position in their local REIA and a minister of the gospel you figure this is a good person. 

This approach will result in increased costs against the mortgagor, but will provide the opportunity to ensure that all of the steps were properly taken and to dispute any problems that might arise in Court.d) The mortgagor can file a Statement of Defence.  

I got screwed out of $8000 by the former marketing director of GAREIA who had 22 years real estate experience and also ministers to women at her church. 

I have a brother who is a minister which allows him to legally claim quite a bit of his income as expense lowering his taxable income.

I am a campus minister with Christians at Tech, and serving there is my dream.   

The detailed documentation from your photos and inspection reports will be your best defence if you ever end up challenged in court for the security deposit refund deductions.Make sure to follow your state's laws about the timeliness of sending the refund. 

I am legally a minister, can that somehow come into play? 

They're on their sixth prime minister in five years.
