Any suggestions on how to legally put Damage Deposits into a CD to gain interest? 

From what I see on my deals is a lot of different names so the deals are spread out between a lot of smaller players .

Hopefully that $250k cash is sitting in a HY savings or CD generating a boring 5% return. 

The rates are usually higher, unless you secure it with a CD or stock portfolio or something.

The writing on the wall tells us Airbnb will be the biggest player in this space very soon (if they aren't already), and I want a good presence on there, with great reviews and Superhost status.Just my take.

Stay away from Evolve, Vacasa and the other large players.

Are they young, old, C/D rentals.

I will throw DJT back in the 80's with his version of junk bonds, I mean syndications (as they are now called for the smaller players).

Just routine maintenance.If I were to take the proceeds from the building and place it into a CD paying 4%, it would more or less amount to the total return I make in monthly cash flow and monthly principal pay off.

I am a small player, but I can complete projects in months, not years.
