Quote from @Ingrid Hussey: Hi All,I recently installed security cameras outside of my SFR rental.  1 is installed on 1 corner of the house and is aimed at the front yard. 

Option Fee, Security Deposit, etc) can you do it with no money out of pocket?

Not sure what the interior will look like, but hopefully you have photos of prior to occupancy, so that you will be able to claim against their security deposit, and a judgement for past due rents and any damages

This is a common term used for someone whose primary role in the partnership is to secure the loan, commonly through their financial wherewithal of their net worth and liquid capital.

They will also have some sort of limitation in the contract as to how much they guarantee to redeem fund wide and perhaps at the investor level as well. 

@Noah SchulzThe previous owners' failure to disclose a back-paying arrangement complicates the situation, potentially leading to tenant disputes or security deposit concerns.

Your conservative approach to estimating income provides a solid buffer, and the strategic location adds a layer of security.

Cons are the liquidity event that your parents will have to do to purchase the home (I assume the funds are in some sort of investment today so there's likely some tax ramifications on cashing those securities).

Instead of increasing rent, I would look at having the security deposit increased to protect against wear and tear.

I have several questions - imagine being able to split up property ownership into tiny pieces or having every transaction out there for everyone to see, all secure and tamper-proof.
