Under New York law, landlords have 14 days after the tenant vacates the property to either return the full security deposit or provide an itemized statement indicating any deductions made from the deposit.If the landlord deducts any expenses from the security deposit, they must provide the tenant with an itemized list detailing each deduction and the corresponding cost.

I am mailing them a breakdown of the costs for repairs and supplies along with receipts from Home Depot. 

If we have to start eviction proceedings a second time, we will complete the eviction process and they will have to move.Rules vary from state to state and lease to lease, but on my properties, if the rent was not received, on the 6th they would get a letter stating that late charges have been applied to their account and if they do not pay within 10 days we would start eviction proceedings and all court costs would be applied to their account.  

I trust my contractors but I would have a better sense of security with some type of monitoring system. 

That is different than a normal Social Security retirement benefit.

I’d love to hear from other investors—how have you secured financing for new properties after reaching these limits?

security deposit are the tenants, not the owners.

Investors can strategically target these areas to secure properties at lower prices, benefiting from economic growth and development trends.

Do you have a line item cost breakout you could post?
