Definitely dont do prepaid 6 months, that doesn't tell you if she can manage the monthly demand.If the inspection is good do M2M or an annual renewal.

Sometimes this works.Cut ALL expenses down to maybe a prepaid phone and a cheap van to live in. 

What works in Springfiled or Rockford WILL NOT work in Cook County.Get a pre-paid legal insurance plan like LegalShield.

My next one will be $97k cash out (actually just a rate & term refi to my entity I 'borrowed' from) and will only cost $2900 In lending fees (lenders insurance & appraisal mostly), net of pre-paids. 

I'd check the laws in your state regarding prepaid rent, because every state has their own regulations on such things.

Most people who have been taken by this scam only hesitate briefly before wiring the money, as they have already "cashed" the doctor's check, they are sitting on a year's worth of prepaid rent and the dollar amount for the furniture is small in comparison, and believe that if the check were fake it would have bounced already.The cashier's check from the good doctor bounces roughly three weeks after the homeowner deposits it (contrary to popular belief, it takes financial institutions longer to figure out that a cashier's check is worthless, in comparison to a personal or corporate check).

A Pennsylvania court ruled that prepaid rent is just a security deposit under a different name, and thus in Pennsylvania a landlord is limited to being able to collect up front money (total of deposit and prepaid rent) not in excess of the security deposit limits that are in the state landlord tenant law.

My best = $170K purchase, with $3.4K seller credits (2% to cover prepaids).

A prepaid 12 month lease binds you to them for 12 whole months.

That would include points, fees, title, insurance, pre-paids, etc.Let's assume this renovation took two months.
