The MLS contains lockbox codes to access houses that are sometimes filled with a person's worldly possessions.Your real estate agent license covers you in the event that knowledge gets mis-used (among other things).Do you really think that every schmoo on the internet that wants to run comps should get access to lockbox codes?

If the repair is due to damage or misuse by the tenant, they pay.If the repair is due to normal wear and tear or age of the machine, I pay.

@Damian Gaitan the word mortgage broker is often misused. 

A little off topic but I think some people misuse the forum and come on here and say "I'm brand new and want to get into real estate investing, tell me what I need to know." 

Apologies for the misuse of terms, seems like it's exactly what I figured and his only options are to keep it or take a loss. 

These definitions are not universal and thus equity in real estate is often misused, overstated, or inaccurate.

I have specifically in my lease that "flushable" items besides waste and toilet paper is considered misuse too.

@Alyssa Baron A lot of people "don't get it", yet Capitalization Rate (CAP) is one of the most bandied about and misused ratios in real estate.On the surface it is simply the ratio of the Net Operating Income (NOI) to the acquisition cost of the property (NOI / acquisition cost).  

It's expensive, mis used and fills up the landfills.  

Chris,If you let the end buyer know you will use their funds to close the A to B transaction, then no harm but if the end buyer questioned it, then Fidelity Error and Omission would get to involve, and Fidelity could lose their license for misuse of funds and then if you are the one that brought the deal you are right in the middle of it.
