When I was putting in offers on homes I was always out bid by people who wanted to live in the home, and were counting on Obama’s credit to offset what they paid.

I don't want to take this on a tangent, but it's sort of related to Frank's post: If you own several properties in different LLC's, and you want to buy a new property (in a new LLC) using a mortgage, will the lender count the income you get from the other LLC'd properties as income towards approving your mortgage?

Bienes,Your comment regarding "but 2 months rent sounds a bit extreme to me"... is missing this point...If you give tenants any opportunity to easily break a lease they will... and you are the one who will end up paying for it in terms of vacancies and high turnover expenses.Protect yourself at all costs and don't go soft on tenants... this is your business, you count on that "booked" income stream to run your business, don't let someone off the hook easily.Best of luck!
