I doubt there will be any deposit surplus after paying to clean out and exterminate.Oh well, lesson learned. 

We won a foreclosure and the surplus is in excess of $30k.

In the meantime, we want to put our surplus cash to better use. 

Excess funds typically go to the county/state unless the homeowner files for the surplus prior to the sherif sale.

@May Emery I understand why, but in the SoCal market there has been a surplus of buyers for so long it strikes me as odd not to mention anything that is halfway decent you could sell to Invitation Homes in a heartbeat.

This is called surplus funds.

But, they aren’t going to lose everything....if it sells for $250k at the auction, they get the surplus $170k.

Sales and transactions are trickier, because the vast majority of purchases involve a large sum of money for both the seller and the buyer.Some of the best consumer surplus from technology comes from much smaller purchases.

All the rents are collected by a single management corp that is reversing the surplus (rent - expenses and taxes escrow) each quarter to the "property LLC", then the "property LLC" transfer to the "holding LLC".I don't see any scaling issue with that.

That surplus money just sits to cover any rise in expense, so it's not really a fee but it is money you account for.
