I don't know of anyone in my area that hasn't received payments by now, to include the $600 weekly boost.

It's a deep moral question of mine, hence why I came to all my friends here on BP.

This question seems to be more about morals so let me help push you in the right direction.

Hey Brett - when you're investing in this area, are you flipping the houses or are you boosting the ARV and then doing a cash-out refi? 

One of legality and one of morality. 

That for sure has had an affect on appreciation growth in certain markets, while boosted suburban markets faster than normal.  

@Alfredo Morales may I have your address in a PM?

Morally, it sounds like you have a case but perhaps not legally?

If so maybe you can start to charge these back to help boosts your return.

I remember before an investor was burned using pay rents online.They had it where a tenant could pay and also could deposit money or wire money in.What happened is the tenant sent in 300 instead of the 600 owed into the landlord's account.The tenant argued in court that the landlord accepted partial payment and was going to work with them on an arrangement.The judge sided with the tenant.So the moral of the story if you are going to do this is only a set amount is allowed to be paid with no partials.If they try a partial it should reject the payment.Of course you can work out a payment with them IF YOU want to but you want to control that and not the tenant.On paying cash when I was 17 I was running low on cash.I went to the gas station at night and put about 11 in gas in the car.I had the money in coins quarters,dimes,nickels and pennies.It wasn't rolled.The gas station employee refused the money and I told him he had to take it.
