I rarely see ledger boards secured and flashed properly as one example.

This is my first investment property and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for security cameras.

The company I use has patched the issue since then, but security is ongoing, of course.

The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

If interest rates stabilize or your property value has increased, you might secure a better monthly payment.

For added security, consider umbrella insurance alongside the LLC. 

Cameras, security system, motion lights, cage lock on hvac, etc.They were stolen cause it was vacant and had a for sale sign.   

That’s an incredible deal—congratulations on securing 100% seller financing!

I have a clause in the lease that says the security deposit will be held in so and so bank with so and so address and interest rate will be xyz.

But after an exchange - sign the purchase documents with one pen and pick up another pen to sign the refi docs :)Another strategy you could consider is reinvesting into multiple properties, where you purchase the first property cash (ensures some security and concentrates the equity) and the second property with a mortgage.
