Do they charge the tenant an extra security deposit?

It doesn't really matter that a rental property is securing the loan, what matters is how you use the funds.

Negotiation Skills: These agents have honed their negotiation skills to ensure they can secure the best deals for their clients.

I have a good credit score, but I'm concerned that given I'm going to have very low provable income for the next 2-3 years and not be able to secure a loan especially with a low down payment.

You can also hold the security deposit for those repairs (if you've stated those terms in your lease agreement).The short of the long here is that they're in violation of the lease and you are able to take action.

I can provide further details please DM me.Thanks,NavjeetContact the relevant state’s attorney, attorney general, consumer protection agency, and securities commission, for starters.

At your age, securing a W2 job to build capital and savings is a wise move.

So, the terms of your lease should be catered to that, with very strict insurance terms, personal guarantees behind any company signing your lease, requirements that lessee handles all repairs and maintenance, additional security deposits, and I would go so far as requiring minimum review quality for the host, limits on quality of guests they can accept, etc.And to your point about Airbnb not doing background checks, you are right.  

This strategy addresses their apprehensions and demonstrates the potential for a secure and beneficial arrangement for both parties involved.In the end, if it does not work, partnering with someone with the funds to buy it with you would be my second-best option!
