I would remind him to clean and leave the property in similar condition as move-in for his security deposit to be returned.

I need to start shopping local banks/credit unions to secure financing for my (hopefully near future) rental property purchases.

Hi MaryanneYou would be very welcome at our Cashflow Players group on most Saturday mornings.  

We are both fortunate enough to have secure jobs with good salaries and flexible schedules.  

Using iTunes is a big pain and I'd like to get him a new MP3 player that would easily download subscribed podcasts, keep his place in the podcast if he turns off the player, etc.

Is a security deposit required?

The loan was secured by 2 properties in Chicago.In the closing documents, there's an Escrow Agreement which says the private lending mortgage broker acts as escrow agent for borrower and lender to hold said Quit Claim Deed: (Escrow agent = private lending mortgage broker) with the following terms1.Borrower agrees to deliver to Escrow Agent an executed and notarized Quit Claim Deed running to Lenders for the properties2.

If you take 'adverse action' (decline them or request a higher security deposit) on an applicant, you should provide an Adverse Action Letter to the applicant (many templates/guidance online etc).If you don't have acceptance criteria and appear wishy washy, it may appear (at times) as discrimination -- even if you're trying to be nice...

Olivia,Most investment professionals, brokers, advisors, and even CFP's are paid only on commissions and fees generated from managing a portfolio of securities.
