Negotiating the price and securing tenants ahead of time (friends).What was the outcome?

I would encourage you to try to make it to a Meetup in Tulsa.When it comes to your first investment or purchase, there are some great owner occupant loans and packages that you can take advantage of. 

-The 2nd mortgage is note to the investor(s) that would be on a 10 year note for the DP-I can handle the financial risk the bank wants by securing against one of my current properties-I'm not too crazy about these ROI's. 

There is usually a bidder package that will give the name of the person who last owned the house. 

First thought was to- My party keeps security deposit.

The company intends to be the one on the lease and to provide the security and monthly payments while 3 of their employees live at my rental. 

Is there any benefit to installing a home security system for each unit?

Especially for security deposits. 

I have 14 days (legal limit in Hawaii) to return any appropriate security deposit. 

Even if you are getting the loan only in your name, which you can, and you are the only one signing the promissory note, the mortgage securing that promissory note, if it is a mortgage on your homestead, will have to also be signed by your wife.
