I've just become a brand new landlord and my lawyer is telling me that I need to place the security deposit I received in a separate account. 

What is the best online account for this purpose? Ideally one with zero fees and no rules about minimum deposits or activity. 

Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm still new to this and I've been trying to evaluate properties and could use some help. I live in northern new jersey so taxes and prices are a bit high. Was wondering if I could get some feedback to see if this property (or ones with similar numbers) would be worthwhile:

-$928,000

-$14,588 taxes

-~$720 hoa

I have roughly 20% to put down. Any feedback is appreciated! :)

Sunny Burns, thanks for sharing! Do you still recommend investing in Garfield?

Thank you Carlos! I’m excited be here!

My name is Curt and I'm from New Jersey. I'm looking to become a real estate investor and start generating passive income so I can get out of the rat race. 

To date I've started my journey by reading a number of real estate and investment books and have listened to a large number of BiggerPockets podcasts. I'm hoping by joining the BP community I can continue to learn and find opportunities to help grow a portfolio and over time pass on my experiences to the membership as well.

Glad to be here!!
