Walter, exactly what were you thinking when you let the tenant take possession of the property prior to the lease date?".

To get started, I suggest my new students to study: - Rich Dad Poor Dad series.

Last we spoke you mentioned that where you invest was secret as you sell this information to your students and your strategies."

The tenant has kept the place in great shape except some melted siding from a grill ($100-$300 repair)The tenant is a law graduate student and works at a firm, said all the lawyers at her firm said she has every right to move out and not pay rent.She also wants her full security deposit back as well.Should I just let her go and cut my losses, or should I deduct her security deposit and sue her for rent?

The apartments are vacant almost every summer because they are mainly leased to students so it is expected.

Also, since most potential tenants will be students, it will be really hard to get cashflow during the summer months when nobody will even be staying.Anyone find success owning and renting out in a college town like mine?

This lead me to work like heck trying to recapture those skills that I once possessed but had not documented or memorialized for later reference.

First congrats on being debt free, most of the 30 somethings I know are still working on their student loans. 

No difficulty to correct and they have held up well to my student renters.

Equally, I have 14 days after the Tenant returns possession to do the walk through for the move-out.
