We have been doing garage sales for the last twelve years. … (38 comments)

I have been reflecting when I first started in the real estate business back in August of 2002. I just came off being laid off from my corporate job the same year. I decided it was better for me to start my own business than take another change to work for somebody else. We have all experience rough spots as we begin any business like real estate. I soon found out that overall sales is a cut throat business. Be ready to play with the big boys. I … (5 comments)

I WANT MY SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK NOW PHOENIX PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
My son and I were getting haircuts this past Friday. I was watching Judge Judy. We had the tenant taking the landlord to court for failure to properly return security deposit in a ressonable amount of time. The landlord accused the tenant of leaving his unit trashed so he kept the security deposit in order to make his unit rent ready. However, each state has their own laws regarding security deposits. Well, Judge Judy sided with the tenant because the landlord failed to properly send a Security Deposit Disposition Lette.  So, … (6 comments)
