I may be able to negotiate things differently.

Keep security deposit in a different account(high interest bearing).

My personal investing goals are almost always different from my client's goals, and at every turning point in a transaction, I do my best to respect that line and not try to inject personal opinions.  

HUD does not let the tenant pay the difference and as a landlord you cannot accept it.

There are however different vehicles and scenarios that may help achieve your goalsHope this helps!

Take a look back at your past experiences with landlords and think about your long-term investment goals, including diversification, risk tolerance, and the possibility of higher returns in different markets.

My market timing has never been fantastic and, it seems, my move into real estate is no different LOL!

Whether the seller accepts it or not is a different matter and if they do accept it whether they still pay the commission is another different matter.

I'm also on the hunt for multi-family properties, single-family homes, and those off-market deals that can really make a difference in our portfolio.

I may still have their rental data, if you'd like to see it.The size of your house will make a big difference on your success in Rocklin as well.
