As a new note flipper and new note investor, I've gotten my 1st note flip deal under contract yesterday w/ my note buying instructor & mentor Donna Bauer that is secured by a property in TX.

We have $2100 security deposit, however she also skipped out on her last month’s rent and PM did nothing.

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.

The best off-market local experts in acquisition position their area knowledge and relationships in every opportunity.

I am open to connecting with experts and also growing my network. 

Hi Paul,I'm one of the founders and wanted to thank for you for considering Ziprent.To clarify, our tenant placement fee is $1,250 and property management fee is a flat $125/mo.We utilize a secure, on-demand showing process that doesn't require an an agent.

Secured by Deed of Trust.The property is a manufactured home attached to land in Southern Colorado.

I'd run things by your local legal expert in landlord/tenant law. 

Hello, newbie landlord question here: Is it common to require first month's rent, last month's rent, and a security deposit for new tenants?

There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.
