You can literally transfer the funds to your checking account and gamble it all away.

I have been going to LV for 20+ years to gamble and party.

I know it's going to effect a lot more people financially than it will physically.If you can't control something, then just decide to ride it out and SURVIVE it (financially and physically).And along those same lines I think I will change my focus off of this PITA uncontrollable thing and watch a good (guy) movie (The Longest Day, staring John Wayne and others): https://www.youtube.com/watch?

It’s kind of a gamble but I guess you can make an educated bet based on the market, supply/demand, and the quality of management.If you didn’t do that then I do think they’re due back their deposit.On the positive side, it sounds like you have a nice property in a popular area if it rented that quick..Best of luck! 

Horrible timing for us to decide to really step up the investment game and gambling on REI for me and my wife!

) LOL. and I laid out the risk factors. and I got 50 up votes.. so you can see there is a divide here on BP between as many doors at what ever cost or method you can get them and risk does not matter because Cash flow rentals are the safest thing to buy in the US and appreciation Is gambling etc etc. 

the airport is now an uncontrolled field just like and little airport in rural america.the airline pilots now have to operate like private pilots .. 

I may have gotten a slightly better deal had I gambled but It’s not worth the risk of not refinancing earlier.

Particularly with a 3-year window, that is just gambling.  

@Jay HinrichsI too am going to gamble a bit spread out but havent jumped in yet .
