I would obviously feel better with a security deposit, but will that cause me problems demanding it?

Ive moved out and she wants to rent the property but obviously has to be repaired from the damage. 

When you make your pre-offer inspection you might see something obvious during that which makes that decision obvious and its age can give you some concerns about reusing the major components that gives you some concern about that which means you will have to remove sheetrock to repair that. 

So obviously wondering about the price tag for the reno work.

My logic is that this deal is actually 4 separate property package deal, 6 buildings total. 4 fourplexes, 1 triplex, and 1 duplex.

It will be vacant during the rehab obviously and the work will begin up to 2 weeks after I get the keys.Do you all recommend security monitoring of some sort?

I’m currently in the paying off mortgages stage (from 10 down to 7 now) so I understand the good feelings that come with paying them off but I would just do the math on the total payment and total expenses/interest per year of each way and one should be obviously better.

I know of some portfolio lenders/small local banks in South Carolina that would agree to this as long as the total debt service (1st and 2nd mortgages) is still above a 1.25.

Often people think they are getting one thing, but what they actually get is something totally different.  

For starters- I would keep the Flipping and Rentals totally separate.
