When its included in a lease for real estate then the laws pertaining to residential rental security deposits in your state apply but when its separate you should have more leeway to get some additional deposit to protect you.

However, they can deduct the interest they pay to you as part of the seller-financed agreement—if the loan is secured by the property and you provide them with a Form 1098 (Mortgage Interest Statement) for their records.

You have the ability to grant permissions based on the user's security level, which you determine.

Agree with @Jeff Pollack on having the guts to leave the security of a JOB.

Hey everyone, it’s Godsheritage here!

I’m thrilled to announce that I just closed on my first investment property within one week of joining the BP community! Even more exciting, I’m already getting my second prope...

Unfortunately, the husband lost his job about 8 months ago and, from what I'm told, hasn’t been able to secure another one—not even in retail or fast food.

For the past two years, my primary income has been my Social Security, and my home is fully paid off.

Utilizing my relationship with a great local lender I started the process of getting a secured line of credit set up against the 3 unit so I could pull most of my money back out.

I am subletting a property that I am planning on purchasing the set up where instead of any type of security deposit I am re-having the property which is necessary before I rent it out.I will have about $20,000 in expenses all before I purchased the property.

What do you do to ensure that the tenant is responsible for security deposit disputes since that is the largest reason for owner lawsuitsHow familiar are you with the newly changed laws that can affect you the owner if they are not used correctly?.
