Leveraging Seth's local market expertise, we secured the property for $25,000.

We started using Obligo as an alternative to security deposits and have had a good experience with it so far.

My PM charges potential tenants a two-month security deposit—could this be why we are pushing people away?

Buy now, instant appreciation with value continuing to rise, cover my expenses, and refinance down the line when the rates do drop, having already secured myself a valuable property!

I do not have a security deposit from them unfortunately. 

Goals and HopesI want to build a solid real estate portfolio for financial security and freedom more me and my family .

If every member in an investment club actively helps decide what investments to make, the membership interests in the club would probably not be considered securities.

Obviously I’d suggest putting security measures in place like buying under an LLC.

I'm currently being sued over $300 that I witheld from a security deposit return.

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?
