An arrest shows nothing more than that someone probably suspected the person apprehended of an offense.”....Because arrest records do not constitute proof of past unlawful conduct and are often incomplete (e.g., by failing to indicate whether the individual was prosecuted, convicted, or acquitted),.... the fact of an arrest is not a reliable basis upon which to assess the potential risk to resident safety or property posed by a particular individual.

If a child fell off the lawn which runs flush with the top of the rock wall and fell 5 feet to the sidewalk i suspect a lawsuit may ensue.

@Jay Hinrichs  Even if the underwriting turns out to be as rigid as you suggest, but the investor is still able to prove up on all the lender's requirements, the rate quoted in the article is the part that caught my attention as suspect, especially based on the current cost of investor loans.   

I do not know the landlord's angle for reporting a higher deposit.If you suspect fraud, don't confront your landlord, but rather report it to the county housing authority.

Even for those of us who prefer airbnb, since STR is banned in most policies, I suspect as soon as the main insurer sees a claim with a tenant involved they play the exclusion card.

So far it's a great process experience but I suspect about quality  of investment.Good LuckVivek

I suspect you will have to come up with your own rule by looking at your carrying cost, the average turnover period in your market, the average cost to prepare your rentals after a tenant moves out, and how many of your units you believe could become vacant at the same time. 

Now there lease is almost over, I suspect there are going to be some damages but probably not the full deposit amount. 

I am not sure if that relates to generational preferences or if it is related to housing costs then versus now. the issue is with the million dollar home buyer they are not as interest rate driven.. normally have a few hundred grand down.. etc.I was thinking the new tax law would hurt the high end more than rates not allow interest write offs for a mortgage over I think its 750k when it used to be a million.. but my son in law just dropped a 1.5 million dollar loan on their person resi in Vegas and he did not even know about the write off or care.. and  they got a stunning rate for a jumbo.. .... on my 420 to 460k Portland community I am now building we did have 2 that backed out as their payment was a little higher than they wanted given todays rate and their lack of down stroke.. but someone replaced them.. as Russ said they were still buyers just bought from someone else or bought a used home with a little lower Price point.Although I am not building more than one 2 million spec at a time LOL.. and that in the historic district in Charleston and I suspect that will sell for cash..  

I would suspect that if you follow LU's plan, you and LU will both profit.
