I've just got a couple things for you to think about.1st if you keep your CA Properties The California Franchise Tax Board may require your property manager to withhold a percentage of your rents.Do you know where you want to end up when you do get out of the Navy?

In addition, if there are damages to the property make sure to withhold for damages!

or with projected withholdings like a proforma, accrual model?  

However, because she didn't give me 30 days advance notice, I have to withhold part of the security deposit to cover the17 days of rent, in case if I can't rent it out.

Withholding material fact is a crime not breaching a contratc.

I imagine with holding costs you are all in for a little over 410k, given the 100k in rehab you are putting in.....I'm assuming rent is in the ballpark of 2000/mo for that location.

QUESTION: CAN I, LANDLORD, WITHHOLD THE LAST MONTH'S RENT ALONG WITH DAMAGE DEPOSIT FOR DAMAGES IN FLORIDA?

In the last go round banks figured out that getting a little govt help (TARP) coupled with holding properties on the books at mark until the market turned around did them just fine. 

You are unlikely to ever see the money you are owed though your PM should be withholding the deposit and return that to YOU for missing rent. 

. $1750, after withholding expenses and fees would be a comfortable cashflow after analysis.
