As they say in poker, if you cant spot the sucker at the table, take a look in the mirror!

I'd much rather someone make a straight offer to me without smoke and mirrors. 

The transactions should mirror each other because a credit in the owner account would be the same as the debit in the management account, but they don't sync at all.  

That means you are a mirror...not the reflection from that mirror. 

So if the deposit is used towards their last month rent, then they leave the place and you find broken mirrors, damaged floors, stained walls, etc, now that all just comes out of your pocket when it should have come out of their deposit.

I need to have the entire home cleaned at a cost of $300 Damages include: pealed wall paper in living room, dog scratcheson rear exterior door, re-seat and adherelarge stone on rear patio, crayon on living room walls, crayon on dining room wall, pealed wall paper on stairs, damaged interior side of middle bedroom door, broken mirror in bathroom, holes in both front bedroom doors, full cleaning including removal of items left behind, cleaning appliances and scrubbingcrayon from the walls.

I am in a lucky position of having almost completely gutted the mirror image condo I am in currently.

If they didn't do that, they would starve when winter arrives.The Future is VERY important.Another analogy I like to use is to Drive your Investments like an Investment Vehicle.When you look at past Data such as previous Sales, you are looking at the Rear View Mirror of your Investment Vehicle.When you look at current data, such as the current Rents and Expenses to calculate your Current cashflows or your Cash on Cash Return, you are looking at the side view... watching the action go by as it is occurring.When you look through the Windshield of your Investment Vehicle, you are looking at the road ahead.... seeing the path that it is taking you... and all the obstacles in the way.You are less likely to CRASH your investment vehicle by focusing on looking through your Windshield than remaining fixated on the Rear View Mirror or the Side Windows.If the bridge is out and you fail to see the bright red warning signs..... if your eyes are not looking straight through that windshield........ you will Drive your Investment Vehicle into the abyss down below.So please.....

Those are the reasons we oftentimes hear, and hear frequently from folks unwilling to look in the mirror and set expectations for their real estate investments that are closer to market.
