PG's are worthless those that have PGs that are worth anything dont need gap funding they have the cash.this is a play for folks you know well .. not for internet facebook BP etc.. people that do this do it because they know you like you trust you and think your a good operator.Public has to many other choices that are much safer bet.. its not always about ROI with those with money..

I didn't do anything wrong to try and get $27,000 owed to me by the stupid eviction moratorium and now will have to choice but to pursue small claims court.1) I applied to San Diego Covid Rental Assistance on behalf on my tenant (appeal by tenant got rejected; not sure what the tenant did or did not do since I can't control her actions and this program only she can appeal and try to get aid, I can only start the process and try and get her to cooperate)2) I also applied to San Diego Small Landlord Rental Assistance on my own (got rejected because I no longer reside in San Diego)Both got rejected.

couple of bullet points to bring up:* she's on M2M* I told her on 12/7 of the new rent which would apply to a new Jan. 1 effective lease, this is when I got the "I'm moving out" message* Sent her the move-out letter on 12/11, with options for her to either be moved out by 12/31 (she's fully paid up for month of December) or by 1/11 (30 days from date of notice) and pay a pro-rated rent based on her CURRENT rent amount. her choice, either is fine with me.With all that said, I'd love to do as you mentioned and post a notice on her door.

Is there an alternate source of heat?

The time for them to negotiate the price was when they got the appraisal done-they didn't, so too bad.Two choices-take the $5K and relist with a new realtor or negotiate with them for the $24K they are short.
