Will the lot require a retaining wall?

We feel that it is unethical to retain the entire late fee but it is fair to apply the commission percentage (10%) to it.

I had to build fences along my driveway accessing a drive under garage, because the retaining wall was more than 30" tall (standard building code item) but these properties were built in the 40s/50s and never had a fence there until I rented Section 8 and they required it.From a tenant perspective, I never had any of the issues James notes.

If not I can resell on a land contract so I retain the deed.2.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

This but taking it a step extra: If you own a business in an S corp, having a C corp as a management company to do solo 401k and hold cash for any retained earnings needs can be a perfect addition to those who have SBA debt and want to pay it off quickly.

I wasn't able to get on the showing list without one, so I retained one of my tenants.  2 of my 3 listing agents were tenants as well.   

I went ahead and pay the retainer fee to have anna as my retainer. so let see how this plays out

Contact the tenant, have a conversation about retaining a portion of the deposit (probably going to have to cut them a break), get them to agree, put it in writing for both parties to sign, and send them the remainder.
