If I liked them I would have asked for an extra months security deposit or maybe 2 months and rented to them.

That generally costs us about $10-12 per square foot, or about $15-18K for a typical house we do.On top of that, we'll often paint the exteriors (after doing any necessary siding repairs), replace exterior doors, replace bad windows, reroof if necessary, replace hvac if necessary, ensure any decks are safe/secure/usuable, etc.

If you have a good credit history, securing a mortgage can be easy.

@Angela BrigidoFor Florida leases, from what I know, you have include a specific clause about radon gas and lead paint, the state rules about entry to the property, and the security deposit statute.

You should also make sure the security deposit is/was transferred to you.

You can get a generic form from an office supply store, but it might not cover everything.

The lack of homogeneity amongst notes is also what helped spawn securitzation and might be fuel for their exemption as a security.

I don't know about your market, but all the ones I'm familiar with do not have an ample supply of readily available inventory.

Troy, If he is an existing tenant, you should have received a copy of his lease and any move-in list of damages along with the transfer of his security deposit.

The place is an absolutely mess he has guranteed me he will paint and fix it (haha I doubt it) So unforunately if I show it anyone will hate it.3.If I do go to court I will ask for 1 month rent plus above and beyond for repairs(outside of the scope of the security) is there anyway to garnish wages or make this debt appear on his credit report?
