I used the deposit to pay for the cleaning and anything left was applied towards unpaid rent or utilities.

Then we have to double the rent, deposit and run more conservative numbers causing the cost of housing to double over the next say 10-15 years.  

Big deals like notification limits, security deposit amounts and accounts, paying tenant interest on security, etc etc etc. 

Get copies of the leases, make sure the owner transfers security deposit with the sale and contact the tenant right after closing giving them notice of non renewal.

Basically it allows all of your normal banking deposits/idle funds to be swept directly towards your remaining balance.

They recently placed a tenant in a C class property of mine and after 3 months they allowed the tenant to break the 12-month lease if they left the property in good condition/clean and he returned all but $200 of their damage deposit (used to change locks/clean property).

The min deposit requirement may be a bit high.

We have access to up to 80% LTV, and all of our idle funds/checking deposits are swept directly towards our remaining balance.

Along with that, when it's tied to a ZBA, all of your normal banking deposits/idle funds are automatically swept directly towards your remaining balance.

The seller got really mad over something and kept the security deposit.
