I remarked that the inspector who officiated over this issue allowed me to run a pop-off (TPV) drain line through the attic since the crawl space is considered non-accessible.

We only collected 1 month in security deposit or $50.

Every time I've bought or sold with tenants in the building the security deposit is passed at closing and accounted for by the seller (poc) and the terms of the lease are in effect.

I wish I had a cape covered goverment official [paste picture here] wearing their underwear on the outside of their pants (not too different from many in the house of representatives) coming out to announce the 300b dollar bailOUT.

Meantime he's got 32 tenant's rent money for a month plus security deposit.

I'm currently a branch manager at a bank...I want some stars to align (aka I'm getting married later this year), etc before I officially take the leap as a real estate investor but I still want to get as much out of it all as I can.

I drew up a seperate contract with her, stating she owes me $114 a month, for the security deposite that she was unable to come up with(which she did) and that is what I meant by 90% section 8 pays..If you do the math, the place has a positive cash flow of $389 month for sure, but $503 if she pays the extra $114 which most do.

I still think this stock is a strong winner in the long run though, as they do offer high dividends along with a very safe and secure stock price.Purchase Price: 80/shareCurrently trading: 83.50/share (up 4.3%)Suggestion: HoldCitigroup:I mentioned that the biggest reason I purchased this stock was because it was at a bargain price.

I understand landlords have to prove they actually had $10.00 a day late charge in court or risk treble damages if you try and take it from the security deposit in court.

I have not secured any office space in a high traffic location but I do have a couple of warehouses that can be used if it comes down to it.
