Assumable VA loans are an excellent opportunity to secure favorable terms, but there are specific rules regarding who can assume these loans.

Best practices for security deposit deductions (damages)?

I'm absolutely not interested in leasing fast at all and I'm extremely picky about tenants and I do things like require a large security deposit (even for section 8 renters, I have three of them and love them), don't supply appliances, take my time doing background checks and arranging multiple calls/meetings with potential tenants. 

You can also request a security deposit for extra peace of mind. 

For this, plan on securing at least 12-15 acres of land.

Definitely proud of the vacation rentals and investment deals my clients secured last year.

You need to make sure your tenant screening is very thorough and also your property security is top notch.

Their most common threat is a security deposit dispute.

Or even missing out on securing a better deal, higher price, or greater return but did not do so, often due to a lack of negotiation or oversight.
