Credit scores are tricky because there could be items like medical debt or student loan debt that weighs the score down. 

The other important item to consider is keeping your Credit score above 680, this gives you the opportunity to refinance without tax returns into a 30 year fixed rate Rental Loan, or DSCR Loan. 

It was totally weird he had one room full of religious items and one room full of tapes toys and magazines.

Honestly, not what you want to hear, but take photos of the damage, send them an itemized invoice and tell them what they owe you.

They may be living there but as long as the rent is paid, the house is taken care and the lease is followed, I don't worry about it.To answer a few other items that came up - some of my rents are higher than market, some are even with market and a couple are lower. 

Probably based on this "Within 21 days after move-out, the landlord must send the tenant an itemized statement explaining in detail any deductions from the security deposit (unless they total less than $125), and return the rest of the deposit."

>I have heard wholesaling is tough but despite having less volume it has larger spreads in San DiegoI have never wholesaled but I suspect you have both items correct. 

For anyone who wondered here a year later, if you also use Innago, you can avoid manually entering expenses by scanning the receipts and the item description and total $ amount will load automatically, as long as everything on the receipt is expenses for the unit.

@Alecia Loveless, I think what you have to lose by taking an action like that is potentially deducting the value of those items from what they owe you.

I think in these circumstances such items will be quite suitable to new fashion.
