Do we:Use it all and put a large deposit down on an investment property?

The court will decide if you need to return the deposit. 

The buyer won't care if you get stuck in a bad situation due to a lender walking away and you'll want to ensure you don't lose a good property (or your deposit if it's non-refundable).

You will need to see old lease to look at deposit, rent, when is rent collected.

Hi BPs, I have a tenant moving out in Fort Worth, Texas and I want to calculate the interest owed on his security deposit.

License contractors requesting 50% deposits and not finishing the jobs, shaking down for more money and when refused they walk off.

How much was your earnest money deposit?

Also, some of those folks may cancel any you will be on the hook for returning their deposit.20% for full PM seems low to me, I thought they were more like 30%.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
