I feel the tenants know the leasing laws pretty well and they are pretty hard to deal with.

Hi Ryan Biankowski if it were me I would keep my $10k in the bank for holding costs as well as you'll need funds for items you need to put deposits on like cabinets, counters etc.I would find a great deal, use an HML for my first position lender and a PML for the second.

It reminds me that you are alive and well.
