Quote from @Brian Rocha: I'm looking to secure a HML for a fix n flip in Florida and for now and am only looking to secure for the purchase price only and handle the rehab costs myself.

However, I find myself uncertain about how to structure such deals and whether I could successfully secure them.I was wondering if you could offer any recommendations for educational resources that might help me better understand and navigate the intricacies of creative finance and seller finance deals.

It saved me when things got real (hello, crazy boyfriend with trust issues).Security Deposit: Non-NegotiableOne full month of rent as a security deposit (at the very least!)

Safeguard reached out to me when I was in my mid 60s, and offered lending notes secured by real estate. 

With $200K-$250K, you can secure high-quality rental properties in both cities while benefiting from steady appreciation, strong rental demand, and landlord-friendly laws.Oklahoma City has a rapidly growing economy, with major industries like aerospace, energy, healthcare, and tech fueling job growth.

Begin by targeting distressed properties in gentrifying neighborhoods, securing financing through hard money lenders or private investors, and focusing on cost-effective renovations.

Comparing rates and terms across lenders can also help you secure the best deal.

This is a significant potential benefit that can impact everything from security deposits to rent controls to eviction procedures. 

That doesn't seem right about having to chase your money - but would need a lot more info to provide a better opinion. also are you investing in one property and is your name secured or you giving an unsecured loan? 

I am now strict about the credit score, and not negotiating any of the other terms like decreasing the pet fee or security deposit to accommodate them.
