Your investments are secured by the properties themselves and you can leverage your , market knowledge to make these assessments and lend to the right deals in case of default.

This increase in dollar volume underscores the robust demand and high value of Miami real estate.List Price Success: Sellers received 97% of their original list prices on average, maintaining a steady rate from last year.Speed of Sales: Homes moved faster, with a median time to contract of just 28 days (a 6.7% reduction) and a median time to sales of 70 days (a 1.4% decrease).Inventory Levels: Active inventory rose by 27.3% to 3,864 homes, and the months’ supply of inventory increased by 33.3% to 4.4 months.

Is this something I can deduct from their security deposit if there is more damage due to them not notifying me immediately? 

What can we do, I am currently in a contract with this property, it is originally a single-family home and the owner added (3) 1 bed 1bath units at the back (without securing permits).
