If they agree to move out in a motel for 3 weeks, that's fine, but they don't have to agree.

It is fine as a screening mechanism, but you want to speak with local property managers or other experts to find out how the building will actually operate.

Most of my clients are fine bu this one has been tricky.

A variance of 100,000 USD is fine, but I'll get in trouble if going 200,000 USD over budget.Depending on the ballpark figure, I can make a winnable option bid.

That's fine too.The better versed you are in RE the more opportunities, the more deals, the more money you make.

@Josh RichThe easiest way to think of managing your account AND any property you buy is this: White collar activity is fine, Blue collar activity is prohibited.So whether you're managing your account, making transfers, consulting your accountant, writing checks, paying bills, arguing with contractors, you are fine ... as long as you don't reimburse yourself for any of these activities.

It's like they enjoyed the eviction game.Lolita, I agree the door idea is great. 6-12 months of unpaid rent versus a fine does not make sense.

In the beginning, we were doing fine with Excel, but it's starting to get overwelming and I feel as though we are getting confused.

Next, you have to argue that you've earned the right to keep that amount of money, where as a "rent" is already non-refundable.What crowd you will get: On super great deals, you get a million calls, a million low "C & D" type tenants, and is that ever worth it for that much work when the property is just fine.

Its fine to include it, but I wouldn't assign any value to it.
