I also intend to owner occupyI was thinking if there is a small studio or even a garage within the four plex ,that should cover the IRA part and the rent from that studio/garage can be accounted and deposited directly into the IRA account please advisethanksFollowing - I'm based in the Easy Bay.  

You have a $2,700 deposit with a pet.

I’m especially interested in spots with strong short-term rental (STR) demand, where the laws are favorable to investors.I have around $250,000 USD to put down as a deposit, and I plan to finance the rest through a mortgage.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

The seller showed me their Airbnb deposit.

If she moves out in seven days and leaves the house undamaged, you can apply her deposit to the unpaid rent and forgive the rest.

Fast forward to April 2024: I canceled the contract with KS Yoak and tried to get the security deposit, but they sent it to the wrong address.

The challenge is that the property only has a one-hour open house the day before the auction.Here are the details:•Opening bid: $100K•Hard money lender financing: Up to $220K (with my 20% deposit and 100% renovation costs covered)•Comps in the area: $485K–$510K•Estimated rehab (based on pictures): $125KObviously, this estimate could change significantly once I see the property.

We certainly have some problems with damage, but rarely goes over the deposit amount.

Yup they hammer folks for the non refundabel deposits.. high pressure is how they are taught to sell.
