I've been doing it since 2015 (including Section 8), and I've yet to have any damage done that exceeded the security deposit.

I'm older and need to build up my financial security knowing that I have a lot of future medical bills that are coming my way(multiple sclerosis).I look forward to chatting with you.

Hi Evelyn,Congrats on securing a great deal!

Can everyone post what they know and where they are at as far as correspondences and solutions are concerned?

How would lender secure the loan? 

You can also require a paren on the lease for any student as a back up to cover damage outside the first. last and security.

Hi,I'm a Security Engineer by day and looking to learn more about real estate investing.

We are currently researching a $0 security deposit option for tenants.

Sold the back building which was NOT part of the security for the loan, paid off the 11% mortgage and refinanced with a 20 year fixed 4% mortgage, paying down about $400k.  

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
