I personally collect a security deposit and get the damage protection waiver for added protection.

I can have separate bank accounts, debit cards, security deposit accounts etc. and now with new features like automatic recurring transfers things are even easier and time efficient 

You would choose the tenant so you would have a decent amount of security on who is living there.

If you want another layer of protection get an umbrella policy.You don't want to trigger the due on sale clause for a likely low interest mortgage.Also if you aren't operating your LLC 100% you likely only have a false sense of security. 

Extensions may be granted for valid reasons, like needing more time to secure financing or complete due diligence.

Hi All,I recently secured my second rental property using a HELOC and now I'm thinking about my next purchase.

Things to consider: daily internal operations, external branding and operations, lending, in addition to inside out *legal protection and outside in** legal protection, privacy/anonymity/identity protection and security...Prevention measures at different levels, preventing the attack from being initiated vs preventing the attack (lawsuit) being successful vs reducing the damage of a successful attack.... there are many elements and I see people pick one and argue about it without looking at the whole

The rent and security deposit should be used towards and damages.

There will be much more government spending and jobs created in Mcallen to secure the border, leading to continued population growth.

Like the others said, I don't see how VRBO would even know you had a direct booking, or what would make them think they're privy to commission on a booking they didn't secure.
