I had two lines of credit one unsecured for 5 million ( check book) and another for 10 million that we would secure them up with .. but you need time to do that bank required appraisal etc before we could tag the secured line and even at that they only lent 72% in these commercial loan structures..

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Security brought some learning lessons for us.

I would echo the post about security. 

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

Personally I would pass but if you go forward I would do a lot of research on the group you are renting to and get a very large security deposit to cover damage. 

And if a property is owner occupied, how can you secure a loan with a hard money lender not being able to view the home to estimate repairs?

You should be able to fit them on there and secure with a zip tie or maybe tape.

.- Logically, there really is no additional security provided with both keyed doorknob & deadbolt, but a deadbolt is more secure than a keyed doorknob.- Since you need a key to lock a deadbolt when you leave the premises, tenant's can't lock their key(s) in the home and then pester us to come let them back in.--- Tenants can still lose their keys outside their home:(

Not likely.Maybe some of the tenant acquired their own washers and are using them for cleaning but your dryer for drying.Get a security camera and mount it in the area and post signs saying the same.
