Key points include:Security Deposits: In Indiana, there’s no legal cap on security deposits, but you must return the deposit (minus any valid deductions) within 45 days of the tenant vacating the property.Evictions: Follow the formal process carefully.

We also received a $2400 security deposit.

So someone who lends based on deposits and relationships rather than a broker who would sell your loan.

Giving something fresh to the bathrooms rather than just matching the kitchen cabinets really gives the space a custom feel.2.

I just had tenants move out of my investment property (duplex) without paying for the last month's rent, and the damage they inflicted onto the property exceeds their security deposit amount.

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

Wondering if anyone got a new contract from Delta asking for a larger deposit amount?

While there's no strict requirement to match the original mortgage terms, reinvesting the full proceeds without financing or using leverage to enhance returns is key.If you don't reinvest the full amount, any shortfall ("boot") will be subject to capital gains tax, and depreciation recapture may apply.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Nothing you mention is "ordinary" and you should charge for all of it. dodged a bullet there thats a very good price take it from the security deposit and call yourself lucky. 

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.
