NOW, as a buyer, I can understand how helpful it is for me to have the TDS before I pay to have any inspections completed, because anything on the TDS related, for example, to a past roof leak could be looked at during roof inspection, or related to a past fungal/dry rot issue could be looked at by pest inspection to ensure the past repairs held through time.

You held onto your property, and even though it took 10 years for the value to come back for you...you also have 10 years of debt reduction during that time.

If it says non refundable pet deposit some states still require this to be held in escrow.

You held the property across a tax year so it is  on two consecutive tax returns.6.

Part of me has held on to this property for so long because it has been easy, and without any experience in selling a property (let alone with tenants) and without knowing what to do (or whether we can get better ROI) afterwards is just scary.

Annie Duke is a pariah in the poker community. 

-The security deposit listed as "already held with landlord", it currently isn't, it's with the property management company I hired, which I would assume would be sent back to her after lease expiry. 

However, a small portion has been transferred to me, but is still being held in my name by the custodian that was administering my dad's original retirement funds. 

@Jay Hinrichs The way I understand it is this: once you close on the property they send 10% of the rehab funds held in escrow directly to you or the contractor to begin the rehab.

HELOC'S are for personally held properties.
