Make sure you aren’t “selling securities” or it’s going to get expensive.

You'll need to secure your domain name at somewhere like GoDaddy, and then point to it through VacationRentalDesk. 

I say you don't need to consider security cameras (or even trail cameras)- but you could put fake ones out or if you had wifi on site o(r wanted to go the sim card/monthly route), that's not an expensive option either.

Do you want to try to make some cash flow or secure an asset for the long term so that maybe you can get some friends to rent rooms from you?

They will not issue a security deposit check they will only give you a voucher letter to submit a claim.

If you wish to pursue damages/rent that exceed any security deposit make certain you get their new address so that they may be served notice of this lawsuit (this is often the sticking point in many eviction situations). 

I was curious about CIX after seeing a youtube ad.As I typically do, I searched "CIX Bigger Pockets" to see what the BP forum had to say.His ad felt like a used car salesman (my alarm bells were going off).Another red flag from a lending source: lack of transparency in disclosing their fees.

They told me to get a Capital One secured card and never pay it to zero.

Income generation is expected to commence for two houses during the rehabilitation phase upon securing tenants.

I made it abundantly clear verbally and in writing that I need receipts and invoices for work completed, because it was to be applied against a tenant security deposit.
