The warranty deed is very important because without it several title comanies will not "guarantee" their title search which is what gives the buyer an guarantee of clear title.A quit claim deed just does not do this adequately.Then when filing with the county, no matter what the property is sold for, there is often a question that you will have to answer that says that the amount listed is the amount paid for the property OR the actual value of the property WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Go find ALL the vacant properties you can, write down the addresses and give them to whichever investor you come to agreement with for a bird dog fee ($500-$1,000 per closed property).  

However, except for Hard Money Lenders that (might) lend on the ARV (After-Repair-Value), most lenders make their loan based on the Purchase Price or the Appraised Value (WHICHEVER IS LOWER).

So what I am finding is most banks will give you 70-80% of appraised cost or actual cost, whichever is less. 

Since you're getting a loan, it will be considered a "purchase money" loan, and the value will be the appraised value or the purchase price, whichever is lower.You'll have a down payment, too.Now, you might be thinking you could represent to a lender the purchase price was, say $60K, come up with $10K in closing costs somewhere, and get a $50K loan.

An appraiser may well look at both approaches and take whichever value is lower as the value.

ORC 5321.16 - Any security deposit greater than $50 or one month's rent(basically all security deposits) whichever is greater shall bear interest on the excess at 5% per annum and paid annually by the Landlord to the tenant.This only applies to amounts greater than one month's security deposit, so if I make my security deposit equal to one month's rent, there is no interest to be paid?
