the deposit is for damages, financial or physical, which are ultimately the same.  

I have many physical issues.

You can't always base your analysis at what the MLS data shows for rent but physically go look at it and see what you can do to increase rent to make the numbers look good.

We use to physically collect the rent every month.

I'm curious about where you got the advice to "look at" 100 properties because, maybe in the context, it doesn't mean to physically look at.

The problem is that because real estate is a physical and tangible asset, people treat it differently than other asset classes.

I try to do business only with people that I can physically look eyeball to eyeball with.

Firstly, it's your building, and your tail (physical and fiscal) on the line if something goes sideways.

It says that I need to have a physical address.  

@ Chris K - yes - me either - I have actually had to kick people out of my yard - and it wasn't even vacant - I caught a delivery guy taking a piss in my garbage area and kicked him out made a guy trash digger leave my house cause he was leaving garbage all over and getting beligerant and telling he did this every single day and it was his job and that he knew everything we ate , drink , and threw away - when he would not stop  - I physically closed the lid on his arm and removed him from the areamade some guy drop  a package he was trying to take away from my multiplex when he could not identify himself or why he was taking it .. saying that it was his " cousins"  - made him drop the box.. he said  " i was gonna feel stupid when i found out i was wrong later... "  that never happened - it was my tenants packageI could actually go on and on .... in retrospect ..
