i  would say househacking in expensive area is the best strategy.I got all tenants paying my mortgage , i never met them and they made the house more secured as well because there's always people in the house. 

Hey Austin,It's best to have an Attorney draft this as you're getting into offering securities to your investor friends. 

The buyer has secured a loan for $3.0m for the deal.

What's important is secondary security locks, AC/Heat for all living sq footage, all working outlets, damp rated bulbs in bathrooms, working appliances, fire extinguishers, we do 1 year worth of monthly air filters, which cost way less than ceiling fans, working fire alarms, etc.Best wishes, good luck.

Implementing risk mitigation measures like fire-resistant materials, updated electrical systems, and security systems can help negotiate better rates.

I made the mistake of empathizing, let them have keys before the full security deposit was paid.

Offer some incentives like paying for their move or covering the security deposit and first months rent at their new place.

Many investors have sold deals in the past market cycle, and mad money purely through  cap rate compression.I would like to know how many deals they have gone full cycle.I want a list of their team members, including CPA, Securities Attorney, Property Management company, and all the general partners on the deal.LPs need to focus on their goals, and make sure their interests align with the sponsor.Hope that helpsGino

I don't believe they use any security instrument.

Leveraging Glenn's local market expertise, we secured the property for $350,000.
