My understanding is that is technically a security, but people get away with it all the time.

I’m still inspecting the house and assessing the total losses.Given all these, how do I handle the security deposit?

I only want to have my properties titled in the name of my LLC (for security purposes) but can't seem to get a good fixed rate mortgage doing that.

Hopefully you are addressing issue preventatively so you wont really have to use the HELOC while you're low on cash, but it is there for security if you do.

I feel that my assumption that she read and understood our lease is justified.A week before the moveout date, I secured the new tenant and they wanted to move in right away on Aug. 1. 

what is the best strategy for securing financing on "condotel"?

Would it be in the stock market that you and I can't control, giving your money to the insurance company and have your earnings eroded by high commissions or invest in alternative asset such as real estate (BTW, you don't have to be the owner of physical real estate, you can be a private lender so your loan is secured by real estate, you can buy tax lien, invest in a syndication, private placement or note fund).

I don’t want to read through hundreds of posts to find the answer to a simple topic such as “What kind of security camera system do other investors like?”

If you secure financianing after winning, all I can say is make sure the lender has some experience with auctions and the type of properties you are looking at.4.
