If I make the other exponses too conservative, no deals are good enough to purchase whereas not being conservative makes me scare as I don't know what the realities are.

I have there $575 security deposit.  

Usually no permits or consultants needed $25-$45 per sq ftLit Rehab: includes cosmetic scope, plus updating Kitchens and baths, maybe new mill work and doors, perhaps some updating of HVAC systems or MEPS issues.

I’m the meantime I was able to find a new tenant who has paid the security deposit, first month rent, and has scheduled utilities to be transferred to their name but no lease has been signed yet.

I can tell you almost no buyer wants to assume a solar panel loan. 

The deposit we require is NOT earnest money.

Make no mistake i want to and will invest in the U.S but not until i get a firm grasp and im confident even without seeing the property. 

I continue to get emails from Steve Mayer of Finance holding Company, but he keeps wanting me to pay a deposit + his 2% origination fee upfront...seems like a scam and wanted to see if anyone has done business with them in the past

@Jake Little I'm working with a lender now that there's no seasoning period.

Our team specializes in this and no joke when it comes to helping people grow their real estate businesses.
