@Bob Asad at our bank, we have an escrow account for security deposits, it is set up with sub-accounts for each tenant with their security deposit amount and their SSN.

Got paid for it and really enjoyed it, but that same amount of effort if done for us would have taken us to some really lofty levels.My friend is extremely happy.  

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Id like to understand what the most profitable way to fix up a current 1,700 SFR in a 6,200 sq. foot lot would be?

For insurance you often have to have a certain amount of access to get to furnaces, hot water heaters, and electrical panels.

But, I like to make relationships with software that take feedback and execute to fix quickly. 

Starting with a smaller property or a few fix-and-flip projects can help you build equity, gain credibility with lenders, and better understand the process before scaling up.Securing funding for larger projects can be challenging without prior experience, but options like hard money loans might be worth exploring.

The lower the price the more I would be willing to do some fixing up.

For last minute cancelations, the entire amount is non-refundable, for this exact scenario. 

Of course it needed some extra turnover work--landscaping, above ground pool removal, cleaning, trash removal, paint and other small amounts of wear and tear.
