So you could open an account here to make quick deposits?

How are they coming up with a security deposit and a months rent and moving costs for a new apartment?

All you are going to do is put a deposit on it, hold it, and then try to resell it into a much smaller network than it is on now.

From my point of view for event guest screening and security deposits, Superhog is reliable and integrates well for STRs and events, but you might need to adjust its setup for your use case.

Hopefully, they don't go bankrupt lol - In order to get started with the process, I have to pay $1000 deposit. Fully

Tim, in lieu of a damage deposit, have you utilized A deposit insurance such as Rhino? 

Also I agree buy direct through turnkey provider or broker.

Leave credit cards at home in the freezer in a bag filled with water that has frozen over....lolAmazes me how many people fall for these types of programs.When I buy NNN properties either my buyers wanting to own direct and I find the property or whether they are accredited LP investor on my syndication deals they learn with me while they INVEST CAPITAL to own fully themselves or a piece of the deal. 

Most of the time the tenants are responsible for the deposit.

.- You don't need to offer the full asking price as earnest money, but a large deposit definitely helps woo the seller into believing your offer is serious.
