can you do a one year prepaid?

@Garrett Gattonyes - as  credit  towards loan fees/  closing costs and  prepaids  on residential  transactions - Dave 

Do I even capitalize the property taxes that I paid to the seller who in turn had prepaid them?

The con to delayed financing is that you can ONLY borrow up to what you paid for the property plus closing costs/pre-paids.  

VA, USDA, maybe some combined with local 1st time buyer dp subsidies.Even a 0 down VA or USDA have closing costs, insurance and tax pre-paids plus the appraisal is pre-paid by you out of pocket whether you end up closing on the purchase or not.  

I'd like to see people's thoughts on pre-paid legal services.I now need to get legal advice on the Frank-Dodd regulations in regards to selling Rent-to-Own low income properties. 

I had a tenant move in who agreed to pay for a year upfront because he had no credit score. He passed away two months into a 12-month lease, and now his brother is asking for a refund of the unused rent. I have no pro...

If other issues arise, them paying doesn't prohibit you from issuing lease violations or evicting if the issues aren't corrected, but you will have to refund them any moneys they prepaid and didn't use but that is common sense.

Depending on size of property, there may also be a delinquency report, general ledger, pre-paid rent/HOA dues, and variance report.

Also you need to check with your state on the amount -- most times people collect the security deposit as the same amount as the rent, but you can collect any amount up to your state's limit.Regarding the "last month's rent", if you collect it now and then the tenant stays a while and during that time, you raise the normal rent, if you don't collect extra for the pre-paid rent, many states won't allow you to collect it.I would recommend collecting first month's rent and a security deposit, and leaving the last month's rent out of it.
