But what if I were renting a single-family home on three acres with no neighbors in site and this guy offered to pay me a year in advance and a $20,000 security deposit?

I carried over there lease and security deposit with the purchase. 

Got a college student for a tenant, (SC State), Father paid 6 months up front + security deposit, for a total of 7k.

However, we had secure jobs lined up and had predetermined that our quality of life would not be compromised by moving.

Prioritize securing a property for a good reason.

So don't fall for their lies.3- I will secure and pay directly for ALL due diligence documents that the PML requires to make their decision (i.e. title search, inspection reports, etc.). 

We typically don’t allow dogs and we would be requiring a security deposit for it.

To you I say scroll in silence, in case you don't know what this means, it means don't reply.I'm securing million dollar deals, less talk and more action and perhaps you can too.

But I make a decent income plus I know there are many ways to secure financing.

We feel the current set up is not the most attractive, efficient and secure to either the owner or future customers.
