If you are going to go with secured mailboxes you will need to contact your local postal office and tell them you have two new boxes that you will need to get "Arrow" locks installed on.

I renovate 50+ houses/year through the BRRRR / Flip methods and also help dozens of agents do the same.

Also, is there any method you know of to shorten the cash cycle?

But all of these investments operate under highly regulated and constrained exemptions to securities law, and I have been told it is very difficult to do the above legally.

The property is yours to secure and use if necessary.

I have prospective tenants who signed a lease on 31st of October and paid security deposit same day.

This strategy enabled me to close quickly and secure the property before it went on the open market, while also allowing flexibility for renovations and maximizing overall investment potential.

And need an LLC to initially secure a lender as well if going that route

My strategy focused on leveraging the future growth in the area to secure a long-term investment at an advantageous price.

I don't withhold security deposit returns for BS things.
