If there are damages, withhold the actual costs to do the repairs.

But as with holding it long term I would need to be able to reinstate the loan.

I get so tired of being pitched and fed crumbs only to have them withhold the real content until I fork over money I've been saving to invest.

They could also say there are repairs and they are withholding like you say but they are aware of what I expect if that's the case.

Successful completion of a 1031 exchange exempts the foreign investor from the FIRPTA withholding. 

With holding costs you are at a loss.

They smoke inside the unit, they've stolen packages from other tenants, they have explosives (fireworks) left in the hallway, they have both hallways blocked with personal items, they are trying to blackmail us by withholding rent so that we extend their lease until 2022.

@Tyler HarrelThe custodian, in normal times, will take a 20% withholding tax from the distributed amount and then federal tax and penalties (10%) will be assessed in the taxable year.

Do not say its repairs or say its broken as they can use this in their mind to withhold rent or possibly board of health complaints.

comps range from 156 to 290 for similar properties within 1.5 miles over past 12 months.At 220 we make a great return and at 190 we run a risk of going red with holding costs.We've analyzed 50 comps and pulled 8 that we feel are most representative.
