I am subletting a property that I am planning on purchasing the set up where instead of any type of security deposit I am re-having the property which is necessary before I rent it out.I will have about $20,000 in expenses all before I purchased the property.

Why Insurance is Not Enough Unfortunately, the landscape with guests and how often lawsuits are filed, has changed dramatically in the last 4-5 years and it's a risk no STR homeowner should take!

You live in a $1,000,000 house and are able to secure a HELOC for $150,000. 

Best approach is to have your "team" set, before going out to secure properties. 

From that file, you can see the deceased and attorney.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

If the agent is doing the marketing, finding the potential buyers and possibly working with other agents to help you secure a deal then I would still charge 2.5% for my listing services and 2.5% to any buyer's agent.

This also creates quite a level of security for our clients, especially seeing Several builders in the BTR space go sideways over the last few months and we are currently trying to help several investors stuck in building projects that are only half built.  

What do you do to ensure that the tenant is responsible for security deposit disputes since that is the largest reason for owner lawsuitsHow familiar are you with the newly changed laws that can affect you the owner if they are not used correctly?.
