Other than that glitch, all went well, tenants in place and a couple of months rent to be deposited.  

@Mark BergeI would say yes, let him know that if it looks crummy you reserve the right to his deposit in order to get a pro to do a better job.

Quote from @Frank Jennings: She was supposed to pay the security deposit over the first few months but didn't.I don't think it was wise to let a tenant move in without a security deposit.

They usually need a lot of work, don't offer much due diligence time and often require non-refundable deposits.3) It is normal to view a house more than once.

In terms sale you can get better sale price then just selling, you get bigger up-front down then a security deposit, AND it's a win-win for both yourself and tenant/buyers. 

I'm looking for recommendations for a HELOC lender to an LLC with a foreign shareholder.Property - Atlanta, GAProperty valuation - $240,000 (Zillow $279,000 unlikely)Current mortgage loan - $120,000LTV required - 75%Purpose - to supplement deposit for new propertyLoan serviceability - not a problem (salary income)Don't want to do a cash out refi, as the rate on the current loan is very low.Any suggestions welcome!

I have some interested parties but I'm stuck on how much to charge for a deposit for a 30 day stay.

We receive rent payments from the VHA (on behalf of the tenant) as a direct deposit into our bank account, in advance of when it's due.

Specially now in this second uprise of COVID cases.- Be careful with direct bookings.- Do not use a payment system that has a delay in authenticating transactions. - Be very selective with guests extensions.- Have your guest acknowledge your house rules and always have a security deposit.

As the landlord, you have to agree to the lease assignment or demand a new one (considering that it's an MTM) and that entails whatever deposit and/or background checks you may require.
