When do they plan on signing the lease and handing over the deposit. 

Not only is CHA paying above market rents, but as others have said the direct deposit arrives 1st of the month, every month, no hassle.

I have been placing offers above ask, and covering closing costs, and earnst money deposit. 

This can mean you'd lose your deposit if not approved for the loan.A buyer's agent in a competitive seller's market will oftentimes recommend:- making a 'best and final' offer since there may not be an opportunity to negotiate with a seller who has multiple offers.

However, yesterday, I learned that the upstairs tenant has already put a deposit down on a dog.

It definitely increases desirability for our tenants and if they break, well that's what the damage deposit is for.

Today I had closed on a duplex, signed all the necessary papers and after I had left I realized that I had not received the rent checks or the security deposit from the seller.

If it is personal bank statements then all deposits will be counted toward income whereas business bank statements will take only count 50% of deposits towards income.

It's a popular loan style overseas that allows all normal banking deposits/idle funds to sit on your remaining balance and thus save interest cost.

Think of 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.
