I will need to put down one month's rent as a security deposit and also pay for my first month's rent by Jan. 31.

Good idea...keep them in at $800 per month ask them to move out ASAP after semester is done.I would recommend also invoicing them each month for the delta and take the security deposit at move out covering the bridge on rent they didn't pay.

Hello All, I've been a full-time software developer for 8+ years in New York City.

Has anyone used any software programs for a rehab/remodeling project?

BTW: You should be able to secure residential mortgages (1-4 unit properties) from any of the Big 5 banks for <=3.0% for a 5-year term, variable rate mortgage on a 25-30 year amortization.

I had a very similar issue about 5 years ago, a shared driveway, same owner on both but only one property was secured, the shared driveway survived for use to both parcels.

First, I enforced my right under the security instrument to receive ALL rents.

Does your social security card say not valid for employment?

Originally posted by @Ashleigh Rogers:...I wanted to ask you all if any of you have kept a full time job while still investing in real estate....I have been doing this for over 30 years and as of this moment I still have a full time job unrelated to my investing.That will change later this year when I leave my post as CEO and Chairman of the Board of a software company.

It wasn't a mortgage but a business loan secured by the property.
