You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.  

Quote from @Phillip Austin: There are two alternatives to a security deposit, which I speak about in my book.

I'm a dealer in NC and have been in the biz since the late 90's.

This is my first investment property and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for security cameras.

In the lease it states that a security deposit of 1 months rent was collected. 

I know I need to hold the security deposit in an escrow account.  

Hello, we have a. apartment complex in LA County and want to install security cameras in the common areas.

I have a clause in the lease that says the security deposit will be held in so and so bank with so and so address and interest rate will be xyz.

Since flips are typically treated as dealer properties, profits are taxed as ordinary income.Please make sure your entire structure is properly analyzed for you to save most amount of taxes.

Also, what’s been your biggest challenge when it comes to securing the funds you need?
