We are now suing them in TX small claims court as the security deposit was not enough to cover the 2 - 3 months rent after they trashed the house. 

I'm not sure what leverage you would have outside of taking legal action, these are generally things that should all have been on the closing statment along with deposits etc. 

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

Would you take an escrow account with a deposit?

Hello @Yvonne Wang,The scope of work should include the following:- Basic info: Property address, client name, contractor's contact info, address, license#'s, signed general/operating agreement b/w contractor and client- Specification of repairs: Repair item, Quantity of items needed, total & per unit cost of items, taxes (if applicable), Completion hours, title of the person responsible for the repair item, written summary describing the work- Add'l info: Schedule of repairs, additional payment schedule details i.e. disbursement schedule, method of disbursement, deposits, holdback amounts, etc.The screenshot below highlights a couple of repair items.

They stopped making the monthly interest payment ever since June 2024 and are being investigated on charges of Ponzi Scam and are not releasing investors original deposit.

You can opt to automate rental payment collection so Turbo Tenant collects rent, and deposits it into your bank account. 

Actual foreclosure is on the East coast a Sherrifs sale and you can google the state and sherrif sales and the rules will be on the websites.. but its one of two process's either it requires a non refundable deposit if your the successful bidder or you need full cash at the sale.

But they auto-deposited $50 into my "marketing account."

I'm in the middle of a BRRRR too and I chose to have Sherwin Williams color match "inchyra blue" for walls I usually just go with Behr but with cabinets, will be so much easier if you have high quality paint!
