Last, but not least I'd suggest speaking with a securities attorney in general on the investors' topic to ensure full compliance with the laws. 

Im starting too and feel very lost just because i dont have who to work with, im re searching studying and connecting dots lil by lil my self, but is not complicated, but a patient game, first secure a buyer list, make one, go out to meetings, groups and meet Realestate investors even online call them ask them of they requirements, they needs,  what they exactly looking for and then match them with the houses.

I plan to use the BRRRR method utilizing private money and then refinancing into a traditional loan to pull the cash back out.

On page 3 of the application form, under FEES, the box 1 is checked which states '$50 to be applied to the security deposit upon execution of a lease or returned to Applicant if a lease is not executed'.

You burn the ships when you’ve confirmed you’re in the land of plenty and that’s usually after you’ve secured food, water, and shelter among other necessities.

I often had distrust towards hospitals because I never knew what the amount I was going to need to pay would be after going to the hospital; and it always seemed to be hundreds or thousands of dollars more than expected.Thanks to the financial security that real estate can provide, I am in a different financial position now compared to where I was 4 years ago.

Even if you are able to secure a permit, the HOA has the ability to shut you down at their own discretion. 

One other question:How would I then handle security deposits.

POOF goes any equity and the lender's security is jeopardized.

. :/ safe and secure versus bold and uncomfortable..
