Unfortunately i don't have enough capital to feel secure to do it exclusively.

Interestingly, there have been several BPO's done, with walk through and everything, and the highest, and most recent value came in at ~580K.The failed Short Sale was actually approved by the servicer for $480K.I suspect this has to do with the Non-Performing status of the mortgage, my mother's age, and Massachusetts being a tenant/occupant friendly state.I had to terminate the arrangement of this Short Sale when I finally acquired unbiased legal/realty counsel, and realized that the sizable return (700K - 475K = 225K) would not only be an act of fraud for us to receive, but that the buyer was likely misleading us into thinking we would get this money.Since then, I really started doing my research, and am very interested in pursuing Real Estate Investing thanks to all of the hard lessons I've learned.I organized an off market pool of cash investors, and showed the house and took offers. 

I had a applicant like that who started demanding repainting the kitchen because they didn’t like the color, demanded I lower my security deposit as they felt it was unnecessarily high and wanted a bit lower rent because it was off season. 

Good afternoon,A little confused on the Kentucky law for security deposit.

But as to the lessor, he has taken back properties from his NNN tenants who failed to perform, such as non payments or bankruptcies.

@Ramzi Nuseibeh I actually like to hold each property security deposits in a separate account.

There are some Real Estate deals structured as Real Estate you can 1031 into if you are not an accredited investor and there are DST type properties (securities) if you are Accredited. 

Nathan;Assume by conventional you are referring to bank financing.The short answer is there is one answer, for example it may depend on Location of the property (state and MSA)if the investor has a green card or investor visa Property value and loan. loans over a $1,000,000  are easier to secure loans i.e. bank, Freddie Mac, etc..      

My primary goals is to create some passive income through rental properties, either single or multi family homes, to start building wealth to secure my financial future and stop working full time to have more time to pursue my passions and enjoy life with family and friends. 

Is the 18% loan secured by the property?
