If anything Michael will develop a good reputation in the community and people will want to rent from him, a fair and just landlord.

If you, a partner or your business have a good credit history you can get low lines of credit fairly easily from any traditional bank. 

Median home prices there are fairly low, plus i do know the neighborhoods.

Cap rate is a fairly useless measurement in deciding how much to pay for a property or how well it will perform.  

Airbnb used to be pretty laissez faire about dispute resolution.

The problem would be getting them to commit and look at this, I know a lot of management firms utilize these deposits for extra revenue but they need to be fair and give you every opportunity to correct. 

Be thankful your rental is in a landlord-friendly state where the process is fairly quick. 

We want it to be fair for the both of us and we both understand that. 

And @Omar Khan you make me think the same thing which is fairly disturbing to me because I've heard your name mentioned as a 'financial expert'  around multi-family properties.Are you saying that it's in anyway ok to be dishonest or mis-leading or immoral just because the banks are?

I would find a good local real estate agent that can help make sure you get a fair price.
