Will I be punished in some way or how do I handle this scenario?

Although I don't believe that getting a second job will be punctually helpful or selling something would be enough money or not perceived as a self imposed "punishment", unless you need to sell stuff to clear up your life.

With international rates so low, and the 10yr depressed by lower sovereign rates internationally, can the Fed push up short term rates and, very possibly create an inverted yield curve, without punishing the US economy?

And us Upstaters will of course be punished for our crime of being in the same state as Manhattan. 

It is always going to be painful, though, because our tax code is set up to punish you for excelling.

If you were caught moving before the year is up, there could potentially be life-changing penalties as this is considered mortgage fraud by the FBI with penalties punishable by up to 30 years in federal prison or $1,000,000 fine, or both.  

Never accept excuses and punish when necessary.

If you read all of that you must be a glutton for punishment lol.

I don't consider it a punishment, although that's certainly one way to discourage a bad tenant from staying.Having bought properties in FL at the bottom of the market, the real estate taxes have been increasing at a very high rate the last few years.

If all landlords just give up because they think they won't get their money, or worse, give cash for keys, then these folks will NEVER learn and never have any consequences and more landlords will be punished in the future because it won't actually hit their record.I'm still curious if anyone has found a good background service that they really trust?
