My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

I liked the tenant, school is starting back etc, I told them they could pay first month and security deposit and I would let them have the rest of August for free.

But the bank still treats it as a secured debt.

The tax benefits refer to the tax deductions from mortgage interest and property tax.The returns mainly rely on appreciation, and the cash flow only improves in the last few years, also depending on securing the 5% refinance rate.I've learned a lot from this forum, but as I start to operate on my own, I'm still not completely confident.

However, if I don’t secure an eviction order within the next two months, I’ll send him your message.

If you have that experience, you probably don't need much marketing, as sellers will be reaching out to you directly.Focus on securing one listing at a time and building momentum.

I like that you can setup different virtual accounts for security deposit let's say, or to separately ledger cash collected through a rent to own contract.

Other notes: - Higher density multi family properties can be very hard to secure on the coast, but very profitable.

Possible (but I doubt easy) if seller takes a 2nd / subordinate position to the bank or is secured by other property you own.

There really isn't a safe, secure way for someone to protect their interests.
