Feels like a family here.Karen, I appreciate the heads up about the key words.

The key to the Safe Act is the security.

We like this are the best of anywhere we've been (we've been to Miami Beach and have driven down to Key West on previous trips.) 

Wow, great feedback everyone.Brandon Turner I don't blame you for not handing the keys over, that sounds awful.

Pay them a few hundred to look over your lease and discuss issues of concern with them.Also, NOBODY moves in and gets keys unless they pay the FULL security deposit and ONE FULL months rent.

Unlike mortgage interest rates that are governed by specific factors, interest rates in private money are largely influenced by supply and demand as well as other unique factors.

I've read that something in your hand like a knife or keys isn't great defense as they have to get close enough to touch you, but at least you have something that way.

Just to add, remember, the seller's "cash cow" is not necessarily your cash cow, follow the above and determine your deal.I'd watch any turn key deal closely, qualify the tenant yourself from what you can get and an estoppel letter.

The keys are consistency, tracking results, and tweaking for improved results.
