-Decreased security deposit to 1x for MTR.

Yet, I regularly correct major errors made on tax returns by HRB people and even by CPAs.

It's a nice feeling not to have to wake up to go to a "regular" job!

It depends on a lot of factors; primarily the local jurisdiction rules that may limit lease changes (in Portland/Oregon rent, security deposit, screening fees, an no-cause evictions are heavily regulated).

I’ve been securing great deals for clients in the Hampton Rd area. 

Consider 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.

Pretty much any regular bank / lender is going to require themselves to be in first position on all the properties... so I don't think a HELOC type solution is going to work across multiple properties with multiple lenders.  

They do a good job of regularly releasing episodes and they frequently talk about starting out with their initial capital pool and growing their business. 

I appreciate the suggestion to check out Tim Delaney’s posts - I'll definitely do that.FYI - I’m also a regular listener and fan of your BiggerPockets Money podcast, so it’s great to connect with the community here.

Prioritize tackling critical issues and beefing up security to keep your property safe and sound.
