Since the property is in Los Angeles County, I expect the eviction could take 4-6 months, followed by another month or two to secure new tenants.

I help business owners and investors raise capital usually connecting them with partners who can secure $75k-$100k at 0% interest for 12 months.

He is securing expensive debt, not debt through a bank, isn't putting any capital into the deal and structuring the equity investment in a highly risky manner without any upside offered to the investor.

Landlords can enter a tenant's property for a variety of reasons, including: Making repairs or replacements Responding to a tenant's request Removing unauthorized window coverings Preventing waste of utilities Changing filters, testing, or replacing smoke detector batteries Inspections Helping with an emergency inside the unit Posting a notice of eviction"Research your state laws because some of your comments indicate a lack of understanding of the landlord/tenant laws where you are operating (like threatening the tenants to keep the security deposit if they don't respond to you, I doubt that is actually a valid reason to keep their deposit, or evicting for late payments, or charging the tenants for your warranty repairs because you missed your 11 month inspection window which was your responsibility, and it looks like your lease says you can charge up to 18% interest for unpaid fees, is that actually legal?).

I know I need to hold the security deposit in an escrow account.  

But what is really important is that you understand the terms of the loan, including the length of time and when you can expect to get the money back, how it is secured, and the process of getting it back if things don't go as planned with the investment.

If I secure renters and show a lease agreement and deposit can I get into lower interest rate mortgage?
