The reason for this email is that we need to schedule a call with a representative about our direct deposits to our bank account, we keep having the same problem every month.

I lost another $1000 in inspection fees but should get back $2000 earnest money deposit.

However, I have offered two thingsA)  Higher deposit -  this way the owner's fears are alleviated somewhatB)  Property management - offer the owner that you will essentially property manage the property for them.     

I used a private lendor to fund the re-hab (cash) and owner financed the purchase price (minus down payment) I have a bank account linked to Stessa and I see the cash deposit in the transaction tab. 

It does sound to me that a lot of that work should have come out of the tenants security deposit 

Leases are signed electronically (esign.com), and I set them up with RentRedi for deposit, cleaning fee, and rent payments.

The lower the score, the higher the risk and the more we charge for a deposit.

They didn’t completely destroy the house, I did keep most of their security deposit and used it for the repairs, along with some of our own cash.

All things being equal, I would accept these applicants, but I would require them to pay a deposit equal to two months of rent.

Focus on key areas first (like floors, walls, kitchen, or bathroom), which may help you handle the costs more gradually, even if it means moving in furniture or updating fixtures down the line.Also, since the tenant left it in rough shape, be sure to document all the damage (photos, receipts) in case you decide to pursue reimbursement through their security deposit or in court.
