After all the damaging and cleaning cost, can I keep the remaining balance of the security deposit for the Sept rent that she owes?

You may avoid the taxes if you deposit the funds in an eligible retirement plan (which includes anIRA) within "3 years and a day" of the date of the COVID-19 distribution (note: compare to a 60-day rollover).

Rentometer is like ZIlliow in that it lumps stuff together and treats them all the same.With apartments.com, you can screen by ZIP (or other location), usually, you can get a picture so you can eyeball if its a match, the size of the complex, and some amenities. 

You can't just swipe for a match.

Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment in Cherokee Village.Ozark Gateway Realty leased to tenants using Jack and Landlords' guarantee in lieu of accepting security deposits.

For tenants that want to early terminate, we offer 2 options: one month rent + deposit, assuming there's no damages, and they walk scot-free, or they stay current on the rent, utilities and lawn care, and we will try to re-rent as quickly as possible once they vacate.

They may provide instant income upon purchase, but that could be thrown away by having to evict them or pay for damages that are not covered by a security deposit that you did not set!

@Ian MacDougall maybe a deposit to hold, then sign the Lease after they’ve closed on their house sale.

If it doesn't match your taxes, there is a problem.

No biggie, but the second buyers walked when they saw the HUD statement, realizing they were paying too much, so my buyer was scrambling to find new buyer.He refused to cancel contract even to get his deposit back and several days later attorney wrote letter threatening to sue to compel enforcement of contract, which they did after changing title companies.
