The tenant broke the lease and moved out and left a messI sent the message that the secutity deposit is not enough to cover the expenses after the tenant moved out to the last known address of the tenant (which is my rental house)A friend went to get the mail and its sitting there in the mail box.So, the tenant has not left any forwarding addresses and has not forwarded the mail.What should my friend do with that mail?

----I do have a 'rental' in Joshua Tree House....

Personally I wouldn't buy any property occupied, I'm interested in the asset itself and will decide how I operate said asset.

Thanks, Clayton, for the welcome and personal example. 

HI Jordan,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

Her lease ends in Jan 1st and we’d probably look for a new place.I’ve been thinking of house hacking here in the Utah county area.

Are you not able to give proper notice (whatever timeframe your lease states) and then go send someone to enter the property and see it in person?

Personally I would demand the security deposit back and then offer to let them keep it if they release you and your daughter from any other claims.

Hi, I got around 19k seller's credit for a house of 775k.
