I highly recommend 51west properties, they're guaranteed and secured.

@Ben Berg, welcome to BP and great work securing your house hack!

Background:We have secured a building on a small college campus in Cleveland that currently does not offer student housing to its students on campus.

It shall be delivered full at the end of your lease or the amount to fill will be deducted from your security deposit.Something like that.Oil is tough on tenants because it costs a lot at a time to fill.

Some lenders will only lend with that reserve funded, in addition to down payment, as the more you boost NOI, the more secure their loan becomes.

So does the time to secure a property for sale, insurance and taxes will accrue.

What are the best practices for quickly securing reliable tenants and ensuring positive cash flow, especially for someone new to this?

We always send a contractor through to test everything and if broken, give estimates to repair and we can determine then if it is tenant damage and what charges to the security deposit should be.

There is also the lending field which is quite lucrative if your more into financecommercial real estate if some day you want to be doing bigger deals and making 6 figure commissions checks.. etc etc.to try to start your business as a flipper or wholesaler is tough and it has a 95% failure rate being that it appeals to the mass's of which many frankly don't have the skills to succeed or the financing behind them.OR converselyMake money at your chosen profession save and buy and hold.. buy the best you can hold for long term.. same with buying securities .

This involves finding undervalued properties, securing them under contract, and then selling the contract to another investor.10.
