In other words Josh, try do your homework and find as much information as you can first before you "pick your poison" and commit to your first income property!

In other words, a deficiency balance guaranteed up to 6K, so if other tenants had 3K on deposit her liability would only be the remaining 3K.Does she receive any benefit from here leasing efforts?
