After 7 months of not being able to secure anything long term that has enough hours (I've gotten a few babysitting gigs here and there, and I work very part time as an assistant at a telecom brokerage agency), I've decided to pursue real estate again. 

She had transferred all the security deposit to her account.

My inclination is to pay myself the last month's rent out of the security deposit.stephen----------------

Maine... is no problem for money.. if you have not secured funding we will look at your deal

I have used Sunwest and Security Escrow.  

All it takes is one major issue, such as the insurance deductible for a storm damage claim, a tenant to do damage above and beyond the security deposit - never mind the loss of income while it's being repaired, or evicting a tenant who hasn't paid, etc. ... to turn break-even into a loss.

Under the federal securities laws, a company or private fund may not offer or sell securities unless the transaction has been registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available.

Also, gives me the added security of inspectors from bank checking contractors work before payment released.

In 2015 I secured my Home Inspector license in the State of Maryland and became a Certified Home Inspector with the the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, InterNACHI.In 2016 InterNACHI approved me to teach Maryland's 72 hour home inspector training course.

As long as you're charging a big security deposit they'll take care of it.The septic tanks are configured where each home has a 1000 gal septic has ( 2, 500 gal tanks) and each tank runs to a field where the water drains into.
