What damage could it possibly cause that their security deposit wouldn't be able to handle, worst case scenario? 

S8 Challenges:1) Voucher holders not having funds for application fees or security deposits2) Tenants trashing properties, killing ROI3) Tenants not paying their portion of rent or utilities4) Tenants not cooperating with ongoing S8 requirements or inspectionsAlso, you stated in your initial post that you'd be buying turnkey rentals.

We were unable to secure offers within a reasonable price point.

I am looking for advise .We want to move away from security deposits and charge only Move-In Fee.

Here's what I was thinking...Can I ask him for a deposit to hold now that will then be used as his security deposit? 

And, like me, please leave all the reviews you can on all the web sites you can find about your experience so that other small investors have this information about Marco Santarelli and Norada Capital Management.  

I do not think it only matters whether you were an employee or an independent contractor- I believe most states would look into how the security deposit funds and rental payments are held/ by whom.  

Now if this is a full 6 month MTR then yes, I would change the lease dates a week to secure the booking.

It will also detail other various impacts such as traffic, security etc.. 

The experience gained and the equity built can set the stage for future investments and a secure financial future.
