I have received two offers some time ago from my current credit card provider for a 0% APR direct-deposit (for 1 year).

For example, drop the price to $1,500 but require a credit score of 700+ and a double deposit.

If tenants are moving out right after closing, do double check the leases clearly show the security deposit they paid the seller and you collect that amount at closing from the seller (credit to you) so you have those funds to then return to the tenants when they vacant under your ownership. 

Incentivism them to get out of the house--we have offered full deposit return (obviously that is done day they leave--draw it up if you need to so they are comfortable). 

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

On this forum search screening,  deposits, utilities.

Typically we see a non refundable deposit and extension fees to keep the property tied up.

It can be a looooong process here compared to states like AZ, with your deposit being held for more than 6 months, so you have to understand the process.

After this tenant leaves, you must clean/repair, market, screen applicants, select an applicant, collect the deposit and rent, get them moved in, etc.

All that's due is the security deposit, for you to return as long as no damages to the property.
