Sucks that the mail box key he had the only copy.He signed the standard residential lease for apartment or unit in multi-family rental housing form by Florida Realtors...and yes he also signed an Early Termination Fee / Liquidated Damages Addendum where he agree to pay $1900 (2 months rent) as liquidated damages or an early termination fee if I elect to terminate the rental agreement and the landlord waives the right to seek additional rent beyond the month in which the landlord retake possession.I am going to keep trying to locate/contact him.Any advice as to what to do now?

When I first read you message I couldn't figure what you meant.

I thought you originally meant to only use 65% of your available line of credit to lend out just to be extra safe.

oops, yes meant Palmer Woods :)

The current Board is trying to control who gets elected to the new Board.

The first election calls for the drawing of lots to assign terms (two two-year terms, three one year terms).

@Karen Rittenhouse , I meant to include you in the conversation earlier to get your feedback.

To be clear I meant either do a balloon or just refinance in your name, by predetermined timeframe, If doing buy and hold.Hope this helps, again still new to this myself.
