I wouldn;t consider myself a "Cashflow investor" however, again given that it's my first deal, I'd like a little cashflow padding for security in case any unexpected expenses arise.

The highest ROI notes we’ve purchased was a $3.3 million balance note secured by two commercial properties in Arizona that we paid $1.9 million for and a $475k balance note secured by a small retail center that we paid $250k for and that paid off in full 8years before maturity. 

Entry barrier is high.Out-of-state: You can stretch your capital much further, buy turnkey or lightly renovated properties, and often secure stronger cash flow.

Later he asked a 15-days extension and I approved.Phase 2 (Tenant move out): On May 10, 2025, we did final walkthrough and returned my tenant security deposit and my tenant moved out. 

Generally most states want security deposits to be in a separate account (All security deposits in one account but it is only for security deposits) some but not all states expect you to pay interest on the security deposit. 

Alex was drawn to this deal because it combines rare cash flow and long-term security.

@Hashem ElAssadSecurity or I should say the perception of security can play a role with certain investors but I don't think that's the main issue.

These service providers similarly omit charging order protections are rarely relevant in real estate related claims because its far easier to place a lien on the real estate where there's security that clouds title, they fail to disclose the management LLC will not stop the plaintiff attorney from filing a claim against the property owner.  

If you think a higher security deposit will protect you from a deadbeat tenant, you have never forked out $10,000 on a nasty eviction and another $10,000 to fix up a trashed interior.Credit score is a reflection of human behavior.
