Security deposit and the final month's rent is paid up front for each unit.

He paid $675/month with a $500 security deposit.

You can get a conventional or FHA loan but if you have to move quick to secure the property this could be an issue.

@Zachary GwinWhile it is unlikely that you will get conventional financing through a bank, you may be able to secure some hard money, if the deal is good enough.

She continues to not pay, then you can reasonably evict, or deduct from security deposit (potentially) at the end of the lease.If she only has a few months left, call it education expense and get her out when the time comes. 

As investors get older they tend to want more security and will accept less return for it.For example if someone is worth 15 million and 10 million gets 15% coc that is 1,500,000 annually pre-tax.

Only owe $6k to my business partner, was wondering in getting a bridge loan to secure a 2 family that I want to purchase and hold.
