@Sean Graham, I recently had a tenant who was non renewed and they didn't pay last months rent so they had a deposit for their new place.I am in the process of taking them to small claims court for breach of contract where I will ask judge to also have them pay my costs to file and serve them assuming I win.If you receive a judgement and they still don't pay them you can file another form to garnish their wages.I don't intend to make garnishment a hardship so they have trouble paying rent at new place and will be open to a 12-36 month payback term, so long as I am made whole on rent and fees.This is my first time going thru the process so I am uncertain of outcome, although I have a paper trail for rents paid and unpaid, and texts from them admitting they were not going to pay.Here is a helpful link.http://www.ag.state.il.us/consumers/smlclaims.htmlBest,Ashley

Something I always strived to be, so I was impressed.She looked around a not finished apartment which is not unusual for me.

what steps in the loan process are disrupted from an unusual sale price number?   

Nor are you likely to get reimbursed for any of the cash you've already spent.This is unfortunate but is not all that unusual. 

I have an unusual question. 

But you will get a used house, possibly painted in an unusual style or smelling of neglected pets, and a lien.

In a market where the average sales price is over 98% of asking, I'm not going to invest my time in submitting offers that are 70% or even 80% of asking, unless there's some unusual factor that justifies it.Likewise the newbie wholesaler who has just taken a guru course and calls me with an authoritative tone, telling me that he's a real estate investor and wants me to find him a great deal. 

It's too uncertain and takes too long.

If there's anything unusual about the property, the required downpayment usually goes up. 

My biggest or most unusual problems were: abandoned vehicles, a person escaped from a mental institution, tenants with pet rattlesnakes that escaped their container, a round trip visit to the dentist for a wisdom tooth removal, a one way bus ticket from Kansas to Georgia, cashing $25,000 worth of checks each week for a group of guys from out of state, etc.
