Since they made landlords pay interest on security deposits greater than one month's rent, we had to quit doing pet deposits and do a non-refundable pet fee instead.

Are you primarily finding value in hard money loans or are you simply buying existing performing loans?

With 10 years of residency, its likely there will be significant work and little that you can charge against the tenants security deposit. 

Don’t allow tenants to move into the property unless they have rent and security deposits PAID IN FULL!!

Hello @Gregory Evans,An other strategy I would look into is to use a Master Lease to secure the property.

Imagine going from running a 50 plus unit portfolio full time to simply checking reports and watching your property perform at a higher rate of return with 0 effort.

I do this because my credit doesn’t allow be to secure a loan directly with this bank yet. 

For those reasons, it is very important that you perform an in-depth diligence process selecting and managing them.
