There are paths you can take with regulators to escalate, but being in the business myself, I generally view this as an option of last resort, and really it can only be done if you were flat out lied to and/or there is legitimate fraud taking place.  

Fees and Contracts: - What are your management fees and how are they structured (flat fee, percentage of rent)?

Unless your Heloc rate is well over 9%, youre better off just applying your excess cashflow toward paying down the Heloc balance, which will immediately reduce the interest that accrues the following month.

A key thing is what happens if the market stays flat or dips slightly over the next few years.

It also makes Renter's insurance verification a breeze.I decided to try their premium features as with 29 units the yearly flat fee seem to justify the faster deposits, faster syndication, faster CS support.

I am going to adjust my payment schedule to the hot tub company to just be a flat $100/turn (rather than $50/$150) to accommodate complete drain and refills.

If looking to only do it for yourself no need to pay out big splits or have desk fees, instead there are a few flat fee per a transaction with no monthly fee style brokerages.

Most areas that aren't A or B neighborhoods do not support new construction without some outside subsidy funding. just look at south side chicago were you can buy an exist 2 flat for what 100k that will need work so maybe 250k all in those properties even with the lot for free would cost double that to build today.. if not more..

It might be simply forfeiting the deposit assuming no damage to the unit or a flat fee payment in addition to the deposit.

And renter was sent an itemized list of damages which is not excessive thankfully for me but she is mad she isn't receiving the full deposit back.
