Coos Bay - The main delay with application in this area is whether the property is on public utilities or has a septic system and private or public water source.

Hey @Thanh Lu, we don't do much direct bookings but we do have a $500 security deposit.

I think it would require a major asset heavy backer to provide the confidence the investing public needs to scale to profitability.  

Each change took a meeting, then two different public hearings, then a Board approval meeting. 

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. 

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.

@Bob Asad at our bank, we have an escrow account for security deposits, it is set up with sub-accounts for each tenant with their security deposit amount and their SSN.

For example, when I was in my large public accounting firm days, I worked on a tax return for a client who had $500m+ net revenue over hundreds/thousands of locations across 25+ states.

The crypto can be considered as EMD or down payment, the rest of the transaction will happen just as if you were running a traditional transaction.If a seller is completely against the idea of receiving crypto, you can always use a service like Bitpay to convert the cryptocurrency to cash.Last but not least, I always ask clients... why sell your crypto asset when you use it to secure a loan?

There really isn't a safe, secure way for someone to protect their interests.
