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.

It depends on a lot of factors; primarily the local jurisdiction rules that may limit lease changes (in Portland/Oregon rent, security deposit, screening fees, an no-cause evictions are heavily regulated).

Even with trump's aggressive plans for mass deportation and border security, I also have to think long term about future presidents' agendas towards border control too, and anticipate potential presidents being more loose on border security.

Consult with a tax advisor or attorney familiar with both partnership law and real estate to ensure compliance and minimize tax liability.Once under a TIC structure, 1031 exchanges for individual members could allow them to reinvest proceeds from the sale of properties into new ones without triggering immediate capital gains taxes.

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. 

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 rates improve slightly, a cash-out refinance could lower your mortgage rate, but ensure the numbers work with your long-term goals.One thing to consider is your return on equity (ROE).

@John BerjIf cash flow is a top priority, factor in HOA fees (common with new builds) and confirm rent comps to ensure the numbers work.

I did the right thing by asking for the security deposit and first month of rent before handing the keys.For the next two months, she has been a nightmare.

Your property manager will play a key role in this team, helping you maximize occupancy, maintain the property, and ensure tenant satisfaction.
