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

When you subtract the costs your margin is what is left over.Almost all sites so long there are bidders on line they do not end auction.PS: This is purchase with cash.

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."

The more specific numbers, case studies, examples, and real quotes you can provide the better. 

Hi there, I am looking for an investor-minded realtor in the NE Indianapolis area, specifically Muncie.

Find online research that discusses the merits of various markets specifically related to cashflow investing.

I'd be sure to include very specific language regarding smoking marijuana in my leases.

I don't know if these are the state laws or if these are lender specific policies.Important to mention, the properties that I want to buy are in TX and I do not own these properties yet.I though it would be pretty simple for a lender to tell me what my refinance options (and costs) are if I tell them the value of the property, how much equity I currently have in it (100%) and my credit score.Am I approaching this the wrong way?

As I mentioned, get specific quotes on some of the items to nail down the more variable pieces.
