exist = are = R

one = singular = A

single = one = I

lodge = Inn phonetically = N

Safe but not out, after first dodge:

Safe but = safe butt phonetically = last letter in the word safe = E

not out = in = N

first dodge = first letter of the word dodge = D

after = not a letter in the answer but a descriptor meaning E and N are after D

DEN - figured out by hugemonkey

then the extra credit - Period B.F. no k:

Period = dot = .

B.F.= initials of Ben Franklin = $100 = C-note (or Roman numerals) = C

no = zero = O

k = 1000 = (roman numerals again) M

.COM - by committee: Lotus, hugemonkey, chicory, and spyder510 snipes in at the end.

These get much easier with time as many clues and my style become familiar. WARNING: They can also effect your train of thought and how you read other types of riddles.
