Either version of this dilemma is a gnarly, nuanced thing (deep, gnarly rehabs OR tear-down-and-build-new) and you would do well to either avoid this altogether (by selling it prior-to-renovation) or bringing in a partner who is wise in these ways.Then learn every ounce you can from their experience and do a smaller scope of work as your next flipThen get gnarlierThen work up to this place (if you want to), but take on these SOWs only after building reps of success at lower risk levels.

Note: some states have laws concerning the amount of security deposits in a leas, so watch out there as well.And, you really don't need to call it a security deposit, it could be the tenant's savings for their fiscal health which in turn helps the landlord by them being fiscally responsible, sometimes you need to think of others before thinking of yourself, not only does that make you look better it keeps you out of trouble.If terms of a lease agreement are not kept by the tenant then the owner has a "security" recourse or route to take, it's called an eviction. 

So here is my dilemma. 

Passed inspections and board of health and tenant reopened for business in 24 days total.

I'm new here too and am also struggling with the guru dilemma.  

My dilemma, a new luxury building, 500 Harbor Island, being built across the street. 235 brand new apartments will be available October 1st and I plan to close on 501 Knights Ave. on September 1st.

The following is my question, or dilemma rather, on where to start within the world of Real Estate.This is my short and long term plans for myself, my boyfriend, and our Real Estate ventures together and/or with additional business partners:Within a year my boyfriend and I want to be able to buy a single family home of our own (not a dream home, just a basic 3 bedroom 1.5 bath home).

I enjoy technology, video games, TV & movies, the outdoors, health & fitness, hanging out with my family.  

Here's my dilemma.

Hello Everyone,I have a somewhat confusing and complicated Security Deposit dilemma.
