It seems like a pretty clear gambit by the seller to extract more money from a buyer who committed and was driving to his property.

If your tenant typically pays by check through USAA, that company has already committed to give free payday loans to military members who have their direct deposits through them, so even if we don't get paid on time, if he has USAA, he would have.As @John Andruszka Mentioned, I would suggest calling his First Sergeant as that is the person you will be able to get an answer from and most likely get paid.

So I think I'm leaning toward committing to take one of those classes in the Spring semester and hopefully the second either in the late spring or early summer.

Other than that - just commit to listening to all of the BiggerPockets Podcasts to get a real good feel for different ways to get started!

Education & commitment can close the gap & you will see infinite opportunity in your own back yard.I hope you reconsider & review more information before you make your final choice.

Then we showed up 2 Sundays ago to try to get money out of him, but he refused and even had the audacity to say we were committing fraud.Once he realized he was really getting booted out, he said that if we gave him a ride to the social security office, he could get paid through April's rent.

states have a similar concept where basically company control "...must have been used by the defendant to commit fraud or wrong, to perpetrate the violation of a statutory or other positive legal duty, or a dishonest and unjust act in contravention of plaintiff’s legal rights"(1)The material facts of the case don't support the claim of "wrongful intent or bad faith" by the defendant.
