I’m considering consulting a lawyer to clarify these issues.Two weeks ago, I reached out to the tenant via email to start a conversation and propose a win-win renewal, but I haven’t heard back yet.

First, obviously leverage is the MVP, but this isn't my first interneting, I know controversial titles get more attention.
Second, I’m a recent convert to Pocketarianism. Bogleheads was the source of most of my forma...

It’s a market with its own set of challenges, but it’s also packed with opportunities if you understand the nuances.Happy to help if anyone here has questions about Detroit investing or wants to explore what’s possible in the market.Looking forward to continuing our conversation, Mattin!

I’ve noticed that there hasn’t been much recent discussion or activity specific to the Gainesville, FL market, so I wanted to start a conversation!

I would venture to say very few landlords correctly hold their deposits based on local landlord/tenant law but as long as the money doesn't walk away and is not wrongly withheld from tenants its highly unlikely wrongfully storing the funds will become problematic.

@Alex Hymanson  you should read the book...Storing Up Profits. 

If you want to keep your options open to access more deals, it’s worth having an honest conversation with the agent about your concerns.

On the RE side - I own/developed 2,000 residential units across the United States focusing on opportunistic residential acquisitions and development, including student housing conversions and luxury multifamily development.On the startup side - it is a third-party guarantor platform that expands your renter pool, increases rents and occupancy, and ultimately boosts your NOI while broadening affordable housing options for renters.

@Albert Hepp the flawed logic your using to state there must be some conspiratorial aspect to commissions because commissions are all but uniformed over 2%.....We can apply that exact flawed logic to Apples at grocery stores and say since apples, at every grocery store are uniformed at a price over $0.10 a piece, it "must be a conspiracy"........Take off the tinfoil hat. 

Might want to start that conversation with the lender if this looks like a possibility.
