I'm sure you have a unique perspective on how you go about doing this.  

@Jay HinrichsWe all don't have the toys you have Jay!

All:Does anyone out there have a unique or a creative solution for dealing with security deposits? 

I suggest developing your own investment strategy based on your own unique investment goals.

They all seem to have some good qualities and unique shortcomings. 

Investing in turnkey is a very unique process.

The description says it all, "Unique one of a kind finishing completed by a professional!"

I understand each property will be unique but i'd still like to hear based on what you've seen or done with your own properties in the Phoenix area.The most important, is posted rent the actual rent paid or is that before sales tax, fees, etc?

Learning from podcasts, books, and BP forums it seems finding a good contractor is very difficult so having someone that can do a walk through and come up with a number is (hopefully) our unique advantage.

Soon enough you'll be the expert in something unique no one else is doing and deals and profit will come your way.High points:  don't follow the crowd.
