Your payment structure should withhold earned fees weekly to pay workers.

@Tajinder Kandola, in most cases the 1031 property has been held for more than a year thus saving you the 15 - 20% US capital gains tax.What is usually more of a concern for foreign investors is that regardless of the potential gain, the FIRPTA act require a withholding of 15% of the sales price of the property.  

Then I might point out I'm not withholding and what tah's worth to them.Then I might say, tell ya what, I'll pay you XX an hour and I'll help you (supervise) and pay no more than XXX for the job, which ever is less.

I've not been down the path of withholding information they request... so can't comment what happens in that scenario.

Furthermore, if it is found that you were not in the house when it burned down, the insurance company can withhold the additional premiums for what should have been paid under a landlord policy from loss proceeds, since you insured it improperly....and then some just might return only the premiums and say you fradulently insured the premises!

If the beef is between the seller and their broker/agent why can't the escrow agent just withhold those funds and let them battle it out?

I say this because I did it and:1) I got the money back that they were withholding.

Howdy @Kaydn JensenIn addition to what has been stated I re-evaluate the condition of my properties annually to determine if my CapEx and/or Maintenance withholdings need adjusting.

Is the pet deposit refundable or I can withhold the pet deposit?

I'm an Escrow Officer and there are very few ways around paying the 3.33% in withholding.
