This reduces the risk of misappropriation or misuse of funds.

However, I do not want money to sit idle, so I am constantly shuffling it.You just need to make sure you do not misuse it.

A little context - my tenant has been in a pissy mood since I confronted him about misusing the driveway (blocking traffic flow).

Normal wear / use of almost everything in the rental is covered by rent and not something you can charge-back for.Damages from misuse can be charged back and the language is already included in most well-written leases.

Also the warranty doesnt cover misuse, incorrect install, etc.

Racist/Racism is probably the most misused/misunderstood word in the English language.My interpretation of the Ultimate Guide has always be a SUGGESTION of risk vs. reward as an investor.  

However, if damage is due to tenant misuse or negligence, the tenant may be responsible for repair costs.

If you're paying the heating bill and are concerned about potential misuse or waste, it's reasonable to consider measures that would allow you to maintain some control over the system.

CF is "cash in hand" (and easy to misuse), while appreciation or debt pay down is harder to access (and therefore harder to f*** up!)
