I'm curious as to any tips you may have to finding the best rates/loans available.

Nick could I e-mail them to you?  

I'm crossing my fingers that some East Bay BP members see your post and offer some tips, since I have this same question - where can I find rehab, cabinet, and appliance materials at bargain prices around the San Francisco and East Bay area? 

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

That said, a quick tip for DIY parts replacement if you choose to go that route... if you're uncertain about what is wrong and opt to replace parts as the process of diagnosis, start with the least expensive part first and don't un-package the control board until you're absolutely certain you'll use it, as electronic parts are often not returnable if the package has been opened.Good luck!

I remember reading someone's post here on BP that this other landlord has a clause IN THE LEASE that states that any money collected from the tenant goes to pay for damages first, next to pay late fees and past rents and finally to pay current rent.In your case, when the tenant paid the rent late, the first dollars ($20 in your case) would go to pay the late fees thus leaving the tenant $20 short on current month's rent IF THAT CLAUSE IS IN THE LEASE.Not legal advice.My vote: evict.Keep reading landlording posts here on BP to get more tips.  

If any of you have any tips on books, forums, podcasts, seminars, or anything that can help me get my journey started in the right path it would be a big help, thanks!!

I would love any tips, tricks, or advice from anyone who is willing to give up some trade secrets!

Second, you need to see the Schedule E or the tax returns from the seller to verify the expenses.
