So the deposits on the C-class rental can actually be equal to the deposit on a home renting for twice as much.The lower priced rental will also be a smaller floorplan with tile and laminate flooring instead of carpet, which saves on carpet cleaning and new carpets, and repainting on a pure sf basis.

It was my understanding that the security deposit was to be returned, minus any unpaid rent and damages.

I recommend including instructions on how to return keys, how to clean the unit, and when you will return the deposit.

I thought that I could double the deposit to hedge my risk, and I could increase the rent to make up for the fact that the property could be vacant in 6 months.

All commission checks would be deposited into the LLC, paying general operating expenses (home office, cell phones, business vehicles, client entertainment, etc).

Typically you will pay a higher  interest rate but, it wont go on your credit report unless you need to take a loan out for a small deposit. 2.

Some of the best properties I've ever bought match the description of the place you mentioned.

Think of 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.

You can maybe find landlords who would work with that + POF of some savings, or a larger deposit etc...

Also, the GC will need to be comfortable with progress invoicing, so they would be getting paid in installments as the work is completed, my lender does not provide any funds up front for a deposit so the GC needed to be able to provide L&M for the beginning of the project prior to the first payment.
