If the owner is looking for a 5 year balloon payment and you can't get it turned around, can't secure bank financing, etc. then what do you do? 

I thought the security deposit could only be held to mitigate damages. 

I would be happy to get 6 months upfront provided they pay the 1st months and security deposit before moving in. 

I’m hoping to purchase an investment property within the next year as a 30th birthday present to myself.My question to you all is, what types of methods do you use to learn about a market remotely?

Could we deduct 50% of the security deposit as a new tenant placement expense when the previous tenant breaks the lease? 

I am interested in using this strategy, but I'm having trouble finding information relevant to the method I have in mind.

Just looking at timelines, since we wouldn't receive the bill until after the security deposit was due back to the tenant after move-out.Thanks,

What are you guys using to secure your vacant properties?
