Landlord "not receiving wire transfers"

Location: Texas

So this is my first experience renting a place and its gone wrong. So to start at the beginning I am currently renting a 2br condo with 2 roomates for $1250 a month. We had a $1250 security deposit that we paid by cashiers check to HIS realtor and I paid first months rent out of my personal bank account via wire transfer. I was going to make a new bank account just for rent but I got lazy and just let my roommates venmo the money to me and I paid from my account. I would wire transfer the money to his Account and Routing number the 1st of every month. It's now 7 months later and the landlord emailed me explaining that he wasn't receiving the rent and hasn't since the first transfer. This is the first time he's contacted me about this. I went through my bank account and found the transactions and screencapped them and emailed them to him as proof on my part.

Here's the things I have done to make sure rent for this current month got to him:

1) made a new bank account, and asked him to try to request the money out of my account. Didn't work

2) went to his bank to see if I could deposit the money directly to his account using my debit card. They wouldn't allow me to do that, said i could only do that if I used cash

3) proceeded to pull $500 out per day (withdrawal limit) until I got the correct amount and deposited the money into his account. That finally worked.

Whilst doing this, I was communicating with him the entire way, telling him what I was doing and how it went. I made sure to explain to him that I'm going to deposit one months rent so that we can make sure that it works before we proceed. Now he's demanding that I pay him the rent that's missing, in cash, by a certain time or he "wants me out of his unit or he will take legal action." I've called my bank trying to see where the money went, but with Chase being Chase, they only could tell me that the transactions went through to the bank account provided.

I honestly don't know what to do, I feel i'm up against a wall with no choices. I would have no problem giving him the amount I "owe" until we figure out what is going on but I don't have that much laying around and I have a backup plan if we do get kicked out but an eviction on a 19 year old's record is not the greatest thing to have.

Any advice or help?

p.s. sorry if this isn't the correct formatting or place to even post this, I'm just trying to get help and advice on what to do, just let me know how I clarify things and I will do my best!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
