As there is only a one lane asphalt driveway that goes between the building and the east property line the contractor will have to operate his heavy equipment there and will hurt tenant access and definitely damage the asphalt.

How much do is enough for the down payment cause I know it might not be 3.5% down. 

Deposit will take all of other damages left. 

Prices go down, causing financial pain for the gentry.

I fared well luckily, did not sustain any damage personally.

When we removed some of the wall we found that there was damage to the wood.

We were under contract for another place and walked away because of a 2" drop in the house in one corner caused by the foundation not going below grade and the owners not willing to do anything.

this has caused significant delays with a cash out refi on an existing rental.

Thanks, and that is what I’m so concerned about, is issuing 1099’s (either myself or CPA) in error and really causing a mess for the person receiving them.

I don't consider someone always late but doesn't damage the house a good tenant; I expect the house to be undamaged PLUS the rent is always paid on time.
