I am finishing up a flip and am being contacted by my GC that he needs final payment funds to complete the project..

This is why I always do a final walk through right before closing, just to make sure someone didn't break in and trash the place..

Well I’m glad you finally have come out of the shadows and are no longer lurking..

Am I legally able to take a conditional nonrefundable deposit from a section 8 tenant to prevent her from renting some place else other then mine during/after her end part of section 8 paperwork processing stage (provided she will get the final approval by section 8 that is; she told me she has been a section 8 tenant for years and she’s just being transfer from one city to another; she verbally agreed that she‘ll rent my place)?

We have no other debt.My thought process is to pay off the rental property with the smallest mortgage as fast as possible with our extra cash flow, then use that rental income to pay off the next smallest mortgage of another rental prop, and finally when that property is paid off we want to use all the rental income to pay off our personal residence quicker so we can retire without this giant mortgage payment.

Then I went to work at the clearing house in accounting, compliance, and finally trading platform technologies.

And finally, the last option considered by lenders before foreclosing is a short sale.Understand that making use of any of these alternatives requires strict qualifying by the lender.

And finally, any time you are in your neighborhood you should have a stack of business cards handy.When you farm, you're just in the field looking for leads.

So, I finally decided to go back and check the history on both my duplexes and compare.

I finally paid it off because the principle reduction was so small after 6 years it didn't seem viable.
