Is that 5k left to pay on top of their deposit amount?

As a seller I would counter your “certain to close argument” with “great, I want a $20k, or higher non-refundable earnest deposit.”

When I'm on vacation, grilling is often part of the plan, and having to pay a propane deposit and a $50 cleaning fee could be a deterrent.

It's easy enough for me to use myself and has a lot of other features that help me manage my rental portfolio and take more of the day-to-day management in house, like vetting tenants, collecting security deposits and rents and its other banking features.

I'm not sure if Baselane has a limit but I have one account per building + security deposits so would need at least 10. - The ability to create online debit cards has helped a couple of times but I'd categorize this as a nice to have. - Free would be nice but if it's paid and has extra functionality I would consider. - Interest earning (not a ****** 0.2% either).

We gave the builder a 25K deposit - but they've only gone out there one day and didn't break ground.  

@Mauricio Duarte I don't recommend using Expense screen to view all your expenses since that may not capture all transactions, ie. refund from store processed as deposit or journal entry.

Look at the section called:"What do I do if my landlord does not give me back my security deposit?"

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 I let them go can I keep the security deposit until I find a tenant?
