Hello,My hoa in pacific beach is charging $200 for ac vent cleaning of my condo.

I used TripAdvisor for awhile and got a handful of bookings through them, but their calendar has a tendency NOT to sync with the others, and I had two double-bookings in one week, for which they charged me $150 each when I had to cancel the bookings. 

I told her she was lucky I didn't know because I always charge a higher rent for my haunted houses.

She could charge those late fees, do absolutely nothing collect them, and then take the deposit.

Lease ended July 31, tenant asked for more time to move so charging him a daily rate.  

Additionally, you could charge a penalty fee and take it out of the tenant's deposit if they go against the agreed upon terms. 

You can get away without paying PMI charges each month if you have 20% down for the conventional loan.

Ok maybe.You will still have to pay to demo the damaged property and that can run from $15k to $40k or more depending on where you live so you may not have much left of your initial investment to buy that next property.And if you financed it - the bank is going to take the majority of the insurance settlement to settle the loan and you will own free and clear a fire damaged house that the city will eventually start making demands for you to repair or demolish.This is why the majority of lenders require you to carry full replacement cost coverage.

If you decide to move out after one year, you can refinance at the higher value, pull your initial money out, and do it again while keeping the first place as a rental.

We are pet freindly and charge a monthly pet fee - IME pets are less destructive than some kids.Sounds like you have done a great job posting it.
