Cost to defend yourself is usually more than the security deposit was in the 1st place.

I understand their position if the note is secured to property but if its not.....? 

Luckily, we've got some guests who have already secured September-November for us because of the local attractions/events. 

Hi Connie,I actually just attended a REIA event this past weekend where Bill Noll spoke and offered this same package.

The good faith deposit may be refundable if they are not able to secure you with the terms they represent but a good faith deposit like anything else is negotiable, possibly less a nominal processing fee.

As you mentioned, there are some excellent capital raisers on BP...and the concern is not the model, just the candor.Yes that's what I mentioned you need to be in management and part of the GP team.. or an employee . in our state we could have two employees raise money and we just had to register them with the Division of corporate securities in Oregon... but just running around making referrals to syndicators with nothing more than a commission agreement does not work unless your licensed properly.. there are many boutique series 7 firms out there that specialize in this stuff.

My question is this: Should I secure a property management company to cover the land lording duties on my first couple of deals. 

I haven’t seen anyone package it the way he does and constantly promotes integrity through the whole deal.

If she backs out before the predetermined date do I make her responsible for rent fee, or just keep her security deposit?

Showing him the numbers of course is the best way to secure this deal.
