Our tenants don't seem to mind a security deposit (we charge 1/3 a month's rent), and we've already set up our systems to ensure no co-mingling of security deposit funds and rent (or other personal) funds.Still, I'd love to hear any experiences for good or ill that anyone has had with their services.

Typically, the bigger the square footage the more the price per square foot should drop because the cost of the kitchen, electric meter, hvac system, etc is then spread across more square feet.   

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

@William VreelandKnoxville Pros: With family nearby in Nashville, you may have a solid support system in Tennessee, which could make managing properties easier, especially if you're new to the market.

I currently live in Barcelona but am interested in investing in the West Texas and DFW areas, particularly in student housing, single family, and/or multi-family properties.

All three generate leads from insurance claim residents and traveling professionals (medical and the trades).One of the advantages of FF has been that it's forced us to have systems in place to create leases, accept security deposits without co-mingling and provide "live" customer service. 

I own 5 properties two of them being multi family properties so 7 doors. 

I was at a CCIM luncheon recently and some of my lender buddies and I were discussing that many of their banks are getting out of multi-family because of rising costs to manage the properties...including taxes and insurance.

With over a decade of experience in multi-family property investments and Property Management, I’m now eager to take my portfolio to the next level.

I feel like we have good systems in place and it is something we feel we are good at and also enjoy!
