When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or refund the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account designated explicitly for future investments.

Hello BP Community, I know I'm missing something (Or actually just flat out wrong) when trying to figure out this math equation of Mortgage (Principal and Interest).
