I posted that my apartment in NYC was rented ( paperwork) Four days after she moved in  the ceiling fell because of roof work being done. the landlord has asked her to move out for an undetermined amount of time (2-6 weeks.) she is demanding her money back -  security deposit plus last month rent .

I’m sure there’s some sketchy POF companies out there that will print something that looks official, but that’s fraud.

Most people don't think about their financial future until their cost of living out paces their social security checks.

Instead you’ll probably be about even with a decent security deposit plus you have 4 free weeks to do showings.

I have been learning new things everyday over the past 2-3 years and am getting ready to take action once I secure employment (for mortgages) Thanks everyone!

I've identified one property that we will likely officially "identify" in the 1031. 

I believe it's a $100 application fee.https://sos.nh.gov/corporation-ucc-securities/corporation/forms-and-fees/domestic-and-foreign-limited-liability-company/domestic-forms/

I don’t know if I should try to secure a HELOC as soon as possible or wait until I’ve been able to save up more of a cushion in cash.

But they didn't report anything about the door damage at that time and also never mentioned about it before this pre-move out walk through.In this case, do you think I can deduct the cost to fix this damage from their security deposit?

So you should remember that reasonable wear and tear is NOT damages and may not be offset by the security deposit.
