Being a 20 year mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we used our mortgage company to secure below market financing.

Most work with us, some do not.Be careful also as they may tell you to keep their security deposit as last month's rent.

Utilizing my relationship with a great local lender I started the process of getting a secured line of credit set up against the 3 unit so I could pull most of my money back out.

Quote from @Phillip Austin: There are two alternatives to a security deposit, which I speak about in my book.

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.

You need to make sure your tenant screening is very thorough and also your property security is top notch.

The portal is not secure. 

Our negotiation approach focused on building rapport with the seller, allowing us to secure the property below market value.

But we are also both very used to corporate and used to having a security of a job.
