Specifically on multi-family, I can't see the income and expenses.

I plan to use real estate commissions as well as growing equity in my primary residence to jump into Buy and Hold (Specifically BRRRR) at a later date and work towards building cash flow from rentals. 

Connecticut landlord/tenant law is very specific about the process of an eviction. 

The reason does not need to be specific.

Anyone on here deal with the eviction process, specifically in Virginia?

I've come to realize this is very building specific, as no two associations are the same.

You mentioned you dont want to go to arbitration or court....almost no one does as the cost of doing so far outweighs what anyone typically has to gain in suing for specific performance.

If I'm reading you right, you have a fully executed contract in which the seller agrees to pay for certain expenses / repairs, and is now refusing to pay for them.I'm also presuming that the $20K reduction was within the contractually allowed due diligence period and was agreed to by the seller within that same period.If that's correct, the seller is in breach of contract.Your attorney should contact the seller and give them the option of performing to the contract or being sued for "specific performance".  

We'll likely be going to small claims court.What I'm specifically wondering about is the security deposit. 

There is an interesting discussion on "Deposit to Hold in Massachusetts" on the MA Law Forum:https://www.malawforum.com/content/can-i-recover-d...In a nutshell, there does not seem to be a specific MA law governing "Deposits to Hold."
