Once you are outside of practical geographical range, you are going to be much more dependent on the abilities of others. 

Thanks on the CapEx explanation, missed that one!

Honestly I don't really care if it's just a 25 dollar recovery (which would be $75 after a case), I just need all the money back that I am owed and I'm willing to go to court over it.Here is the explanation, via text message, verbatim in full:50 for breach of lease agreement one extra day stay. 48.97 for electricity. 25 cleaning trash removal left in can when you should have done it trash night and i had to remove and deal with it. 30 for new pan and utensils for what you did not clean and ruined the frying pan. 25 for further cleaning of stove (grease) microwave (filthy) and other general cleaning of your mess.

@larry that was great explanation too.

I'm a geographic bachelor (work) and very much trying to save pennies to send home to the wife and the mortgage payment but this weekend is almost a mortgage payment itself!

The first thing I'd do is look at what geographic market(s) you think are going to be the best for you. 

But hearing you say similar things lends credibility to his explanation as well.

With a letter of explanation to the bank, we got them to over-look it.

@Trent Vanderzee: I understand the point and I maybe I wasn't very clear in my explanation.

I can give you some geographically specific thoughts on what works better.
