Hello, newbie landlord question here: Is it common to require first month's rent, last month's rent, and a security deposit for new tenants?

What are the other properties in the area worth and was are common features in them?

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Zoning varies, so always check the local regulations for your specific needs.Financing: While cash purchases are common, financing options are available through local banks and credit unions.

Some common paths are single-family rentals, multifamily units, house flipping, or short-term rentals.

But I think they'd be around $4,800 (conservative estimate).Seller is also claiming there are no common electricity at all- which is hard to believe, considering there's common gas, water and sewer. and most likely a common area electricity.

@Kevin Hubbard, There's several commonly used tactice 1. 

Hey Lue, very common and sometimes you might see this called a "kiddy condo loan". 

If the tenants have a pet, like a dog, it’s worth discussing, as pets are a common source of fleas.

It’s unfortunately common for property management agreements to have those hidden fees, but I’m proud to say that my approach is all about integrity and transparency, and I'm sure many others are too.
