my analysis of the rant FWIW - as a landlord, you need to practice the 3 F's - friendly & fair but firm. 1st & foremeost - this is a people business.in regards to your upgrades, you just need to look at the competition & equal that.

(With 1 being the highest risk and 4 being the lowest risk, assuming all else equal - i.e. the LTV is low, the property is in an in-fill location, etc.).

The hold requires a non refundable amount equal to the deposit.

The markets will equal things out.

Equally problematic is the assertion that Jim Gordon would provide two different responses to the same question only two days apart.

And no dealing with anyone at less than Fair Market Value.Of equal importance, after the establishment of the co-beneficiary land trust, the property itself is now very effectively shielded from the impact of either beneficiary’s Probate, lawsuits, bankruptcies, marital dispute actions, creditor claims, state and/or federal tax liens and other legal proceedings against the beneficiaries.

Landlord has security deposit equal to two months rent.

Paolo Dorigo, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if the the property is in CA and more than 50% interest in an entity (including land trust) changes you must report to Board of Equalization’s (BOE) office in Sacramento within 45 days of the change.

I think that to-do lists are vitally important to ones' success.

The reason that they probably won't appeal is that they have to put up a deposit equal to the money in arrears (or 3 months worth minimum) to appeal!
