@Larry T.Forgot to tag you.

Larry Johnson My suggestion would be to invest in mortgage notes.

@Ilya AksenovI think @Larry Fried has got the right idea.

@Larry T. and @Michael Noto know what they are talking about here and this is all 100% accurate (in my experience).... there is no requirement for a deposit when an offer to purchase is placed, however, in my experience a photo of an earnest money deposit check ( I send a picture of a check for $1,000 made out to the asset manager) along with a proof of funds (which is just a true and verified statement from my bank) that shows you have the funds to cover the down payment if using financing, or the whole purchase price if its a cash sale does a great job of showing you are serious.... look at it from the sellers standpoint, if you had two offers in front of you and both are for the same amount what looks better?

@Larry Fried @Costin Iorgulescu @AJ Singh @Ali BooneAfter reading these posts, and being more on the 'pro-llc' side of things, i was wondering about the items that insurance wont cover. 

@Larry T. that's hilarious if its the same property...sounds like @Shaun Carl could also milk this cow... was it the distance that made the management less than ideal?

Thank you for the kind words on the Holdfolio model @Larry Fried and @Saul L. it is greatly appreciated. 

I had originally planned on doing 20% down for future properties, but ended up reading Larry Loftis' "Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes, and Quads" and also John Schaub's "Building Wealth One House at a Time" and they both advise not putting more than 10% down when interest rates are low, to really take advantage of leverage, which makes a lot of sense to me.

@Larry T. - Thanks man!
