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

Note that if this goes well, I would want to continue making deals there.I don't think this is necessary in this day and age - plenty of direct lenders that can offer you good service and DSCR Loans for a wide variety of situations with competitive rates - easy to find here as well. 

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.

note: they do have enough money to cover the first, last, and security deposit

As a region, the phrase “The Poconos” is linked to a wide variety of areas that have much of the same allure in common.

Speaking of junk, doing my research tonight saw a 1/4 acre lot for sale.....except that it is 25' wide and 407' long. 

Recently, I was lucky to sign a deal using an option agreement like Seller's finance, when you pay an Option fee, secure a deal for a couple of years, and do not pay the down payment.
