I don't rent furnished and others may be able to point out where this is flawed, but I would consider renting the furniture SEPARATE of the unit because that may allow you to collect a deposit on the furniture.

Quote from @Phillip Austin: There are two alternatives to a security deposit, which I speak about in my book.

Jeffrey:I'm connected to a large group in Indy that focuses on buy & hold SF and apartment (commercial) residential real estate. 

No free weeks, no reduced deposit, etc.

A little history on my investment real estate journey if we can call it that….Back in 2005 my wife and I bought our very first home when we were 24/25, 3 Bed, 1 ½ bath 1500 sqft single family home for $167,000.

I would like to start connecting with lenders, attorneys, realtors, title companies, and all other professional in the SATX commercial real estate market.  

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

I want to work my way into anything full time because I have a decent job now but eventually i want to have real estate/construction replace my income. 

If we include investments in mortgage loans (trust deeds), real estate partnerships, REITs as well as direct property ownership, I’m at about 80%.
