Security Deposit For rentals

Charles Hetrick
Posted
I just recently purchased a house that I’m going to use as rental property. This is my first one and have some questions. 1. How much should you charge for security. 2. Where can you get credit scores and rental background checks from and is there a fee ? 3 What is the going rate for two bedroom house. No a/c and no garage. Big backyard Thanks for the help !

@Charles Hetrick it is better to stay vacant a little longer than place the wrong tenant so make sure you do not compromise on 1 and 2. 3 you can compromise a bit on and it won't be the end of the world. 1 and 2 will leave you very unhappy if you do
