Most financial aid payments seem to be in semester based disbursements, so I am curious if anyone has or would rent in prepaid rental agreements.

If the rent was prepaid before the due date, and there was outstanding invoice to be paid, not unusual to pay it from the collected funds.

I believe the percentage limitations in terms of seller concessions that Bill was referring to would only be in the form of buyer loan closing costs, pre-paids, etc. 

Here’s a quick example of the quote I was given (property:$305k, prepaids/fees: $14k, Loan 1: $244k, Loan 2: $61k, Lender Grant:$1,000, Cash to Close: $13k). 

Raise the price up by $3,000 or $4,000...and take a seller credit at closing (talk with the lender but basically just have it say the credit is for “closing costs and prepaids”).

In Chicago, it's also very difficult to collect and manage security deposits (due to the RLTO) so collecting additional security deposit or prepaid rent is out of the question.

In Arizona, a tenant can pre-pay rent, move in, and request a refund of the pre-paid rent.

You prepaid April’s partial month interest at closing. 

I think the city is making a lot of good, professional decisions for the overall health of the city.They are one of the few places that have pre-paid their employee pension funds (they have a positive, not negative). 

I have some examples in my profile of STR projects, but just to give you an example of a property that I have done both LTR & STR, here is roughly the breakdown:LTR Expenses: 21,100/yearLTR Rent: 24,000/ year (this number is from 2016 so rent value may have gone up slightly)STR Expenses: 28,000/yearSTR Gross revenue in 2019: $56,500 (The actual number on my tax return was over 68,000, but when the DNC canceled I had to return the $11,500 the guest had prepaid for the event)STR revenue does not include a management fee because I manage the property myself.
