Most hosts request a security deposit, but rest assured that your money will not be touched unless the host files a claim, and even at that point, you, the host, and Airbnb have to agree to the charges before you pay a dime. ))For my Airbnb like @Paul Sandhu I do not charge a deposit.

And by the way, more than 90% of the people (probably more like 95%) who try wholesaling never make a dime.

Stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.

I would also take issue if I felt like I was being nickeled and dimed.

In order to prevent Tenants from "nickel and dime-ing" you to death, your Leases should state "Tenant is responsible for first $xxx.xx of incidental repairs." 

Account ClosedThey nickel and dime for everything.

Debt funds today are a dime a dozen and each one has different strategies, different sponsor experiences and different entity structures.

I almost always get the asking rent rate when a section 8 tenant is employed but if the tenant is unemployed section 8 nickels and dimes you.

This way the tenant is conscious of additional utility costs and they won't feel like you're nickel and diming them each month.

I didn't pay a dime upfront.
