Although there is no way to prove this, (I reside in FL; the investment property is in AL) my GC tells me the unit was secured by a cage and bolted down.  

A realtor who used to have a PM company called "JBS Realty" until this month.He used to manage 8 of my properties and is currently refusing to pay out multiple 5-figures worth of rents/property reserves/security deposits/unpaid utility bills owed. 

Very few allow any subordinate financing below their note but I do have ONE that allows 90% CLTV (they loan 75% and allow you to secure a 15% seller carryback as long as you come in with 10%). 

A minimum of $1M in coverage provides added protection in case of major liability claims, though $2M–$5M offers even greater security depending on your situation.

We have a modest security deposit collected up front along with 1st month's rent and the cleaning fee.

Don't forget to tell the tenant where you will store their security deposit.

With high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and intense market competition, securing a property has become increasingly difficult.A recent survey found that over 60% of real estate agents reported instances where Gen Z buyers lost out on homes due to delayed decision-making, missed appointments, or hesitation in making offers.

Start by asking for a pre-approval letter from their commercial lender—it shows they can secure financing.

@Jordan BrownSince Orange County and Santa Barbara have high housing costs, using an FHA loan for a house hack could be a smart move, allowing you to put less money down while securing a property.

House hacking is an excellent strategy, especially with the potential to use an FHA loan to secure a property with a low down payment.
