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

@Justin FondrenIf your credit score is in the 700–730 range, you're in a great position to secure favorable loan terms.

Key point is WITH a SECURED border to stop the flood of 100k-300k monthly illegls. 

We don't even a Board yet (it's a new build), and it's all being coordinated by the HOA management company for the building.The developer offered to make the new door key fobbed on each side for entry, and would install a new security camera. 

Reason being, I hired a property management company (just now) and they're wonderful, they start officially in a couple days. 

Hey @Thanh Lu, we don't do much direct bookings but we do have a $500 security deposit.

Now, I'm imaging a scenario when every one of these tenants move out that I'll be paying their entire security deposit + interest even if there are damages beyond normal wear and tear.
