.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

-When a tenant moved out, the management company refunded their security deposit but failed to account for damage, such as holes in walls and outlets ripped off the walls, leaving me with repair bills and also tenants moving in without the repairs being done.Stuff like this that is consistent and when I ask questions they are defensive, when I ask for more quotes for high ticket items they are defensive. 

If they fail to handle it, I will do it and charge them for my time.Another change I made was to add a no-deposit option to all my residential rentals.

The claims of 1hr to collect rent, produce receipts, and deposit checks also seems like a reasonable claim if done physically and not electronically.

Make sure every dime is deposited into the trust account.Private lending, like syndication investing, doesn’t involve many transactions.

@Ben Dao,The way around that is to arrange to have your paycheck direct deposited into your line of credit.

We gave him 56k in deposits and he will not even pick up his phone or engage in a conversation.

I believe it was said in James Bond movie, Casino Royale "It's not about the money, it's about knowing who you can trust".

You'll be tagging transactions throughout the year with categories that fit the Schedule E so when tax time comes (if you stay on top of it) every deposit and expenditure will already be categorized and it's quick to create the Schedule E and/or run P&L reports any time you need to.

First of all it's very rare a seller gets a buyer's EMD deposit for buyer's financing falling thru.
