I haven't looked at how to deposit those - I don't like mobile deposits.There are many free resources to use before you start paying for services.

I did receive a total of 2 months worth of rent upfront (1 month security deposit + 1 month rent).

So it'll be difficult to deposit checks, and forget about cash.Hard money lenders won't lend you 99.3% on this deal.

I’ve applied for the permit with the MOA and because my place has more than 3 bedrooms, they are requiring me to put down a $5,000 deposit as surety for their taxes.  

With the separate bank accounts for every property, should the cash flow that I make every month be deposited into the respective checking account or into my personal checking account?

At least apartments.com lets me set up an ID for each bank acct they deposit to (one reason I moved some of the payments off of another site, as it allows multiple bank accts, but wants to report it all under one tax ID, which is, well, exactly wrong).

Get her to sign a contact, offer $2500 for a earnest deposit, and start talking with lenders.

My question is what ability we have to enforce certain “policies” such as requirement to maintain renter’s insurance(their leases don’t require it) prescribed method of payment (they currently deliver cash to the landlord’s local bank) or increasing their deposit (some are as low as $100, and one tenant has no deposit at all)?

I offered to lease the property month to month at a rate 25% higher than a 12 month lease, and have his security deposit forfeited if he left prior to 3 months, and 50% forfeited if he left month 4-6.

It was all in the contract however he didn’t notice until someone reached out to ask him about all the fees but the tenants had a 400 lease fee to lease the rental plus the standard deposit and first months rent.
