If the cost of the couch removal and other items isn't that significant, maybe just pay out of pocket and don't renew them for another term (or take it out of security deposit if you have one).

I know some mentioned about developing banking relationships and I totally agree with that, so here is what you do. 1) Open a business checking account in the name of your LLC to hold the assets. 2) Deposit your cash into that account to fund the real estate purchases3) After owning for 60-90 days, talk with a local lender about a line of credit against the 2 properties at 60% LTV. 4) After about 30-45 days, have the line open to use if you need that liquidity that you used, but until then you are not paying 7% interest on nothing. 

I’d love to hear some perspectives from more experienced investors on what you think about the info below:$75k for a 5bd 3 ba manufactured home that rents out each room for $500/monthPros:Reliable tenant paymentsCheap purchase price relative to income generatedPotential for ~16% CoC ROICons:Long distance investment (requires property manager)Month-to-month leases per bedroom (& no deposits collected)Located in Utica, MS – not a thriving market for rentalsManufactured home – not sure this type of home will build equityUnsure what kind of tenants live here Hey Molly!

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

 :)To anyone reading this: if you happen to think using other people's money means you don't need any of your own, raising outside money may help you recover your expenses, but you still have MAJOR out of pocket expenses, typically, due before you can raise any money:Earnest deposit: most people raise after you get control of a deal.  

Few people have no clue what is or how it works, I was just reading today that the cannabis growers that will be trading BILLIONS of dollars in CA, cannot deposit those funds in traditional banks, therefore; many will be using Bitcoins and other digital currency. 

From my point of view for event guest screening and security deposits, Superhog is reliable and integrates well for STRs and events, but you might need to adjust its setup for your use case.

Feel free to dm and I can put you in touch.Also, please have a licensed and vetted contractor walk the property either before putting an offer or during an inspection period when you can back it and get your deposit back.Skepticism up front is always better than regret later.

So it is really looking more at bank deposits, but most mom and pop owners won't share bank statements.
