How to match them and where to get them?

Hey @Thanh Lu, we don't do much direct bookings but we do have a $500 security deposit.

And if the comps don't match your property they can't be used.

Multiple people had some bad things to say about the area, but when I moved and realized that it was a low income area with a lot of homeowners, I was motivated to improve the property to match the effort my neighbors have put in. 

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.

WOW.. 40k plus deposits on a home to be built.. ??? 

You’re not using a PM, AND you’re assuming you can charge a service animal a deposit and pet rent?

You can't charge extra pet rent or even a pet deposit because it's legally not considered a pet.

  $2500 deposit is put down. 

basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it.
