Keep the deposit towards additional rent if allowed by law and wish them the best of luck solving their problems. 

I have little over 100k in an IRA from previous employer.

. $150 plus tax Clean up fee at check out and $22 plus tax per day resort feePRIVATE OWNERS: $100 per day resort fee up to 2 people, $50 each additional person.

What are the major employers in Waco, besides Baylor?

Many of these companies will provide information about the property, including the name of the owner, address, loan amount owed, and additional loans outstanding.

I always ask within 24 hours of check-in to see if everything is okay-- but I think it takes people time to move in and see if anything additional is needed.

If someone wants to host MTR, STR, whatever, they should start their own management company, not try to use this model where they can make additional money off of an owner if a property performs well.

Additionally the suburbs have higher taxes compared to Chicago proper.  

Additionally, make sure the deal itself is strong.Best regards, Stevan

Is it to build up assets, is it to make additional income, is it to reduce your monthly housing spend and save more money, is it tax breaks/benefits?
