Both people lived up to the terms of the contract (the lease) and it is done.

Even so, most people choose to buy coverage for things even if there's a 99% chance they won't need it.  

I've seen banks be very competitive with blanket loans that cover multiple properties and/or multi-family properties, e.g. 5+ units.Mortgage Brokers (obviously I'm biased) - Brokers have the ability to work with all of the above and can get you to the best lender for your scenario right away instead of having you waste your time with the wrong type of lender.

You can try small claims court, but nothing is enforceable, so it is mostly a waste of your time...and some of the problematic tenants know this.I agree with Jill, if they do make payments, take cash or money orders-no cheques.

We got lucky the county picked up the waste dump pickup and dump fees.

People complain about booking.com cancellations.

I understand the safest option is to have a lawyer review the lease, but I figured I'd try to answer my beginner questions here and not waste the lawyers time (and my money) on the "for dummies" explanation.Thank you!

There are some really scummy solar sales people out there that tell homeowners they can get solar “for free”.
