Most lenders are looking for an expense deposit (1 national company is looking for $2,500) to cover their cost of due diligence and establishing line/loan. 

Apparently because of the complications with this accounting, they were not able to deposit the rent in my account last month but promised me that I'd see a deposit on the 15th of January which came and went with no deposit nor a statement of any kind.

The couple (with a one-year old) gave me a deposit right on the spot conditional on background check - they said my 'like new' house was much nicer than what else they had seen in the price range.  

Hi all,In what form do you accept a buyer's earnest money deposit?

I would like to know if anyone has had this problem.I'm going to the be owner of a new property TOMORROW, got the survey on Friday from title company and just come to find that my property line doesn't match the survey on record.Technically I have the end of the driveway as my property line in the survey but in fact I have the drive-way and about an extra five feet (5x132) and then a chain link fence (which is what I thought was the property line)What do I do in this case?

When your rental income matches or exceeds your W-2 income2.

They paid a $625 deposit +$250 pet deposit for the cats.After operating expenses and the mortgage we should have cash flow of about $200/mo. 

I got him to co-sign on the loan and match my down payment.

I'M in the process of putting property under contract with a Real  Estate Agent which the property was listed @21k public info and I have a buyer's criteria match for that property would I be considered asking to much of an assignment fee of 31k if my buyer is getting 61%ARV For his purchase?

My question is this; what verbiage/contingency should I use to let seller know I will not make a monthly payment or deposit until I find a buyer without scaring them away?
