Delinquent tenants aware of that so by not cooperating, not letting official lead paint tester to enter, they can easily fail the landlord to have rental license and that delinquent behavior now will work in their favor:With no rental license they block the landlord effort of eviction when they are not paying rent and utilities or not leave when lease ends.Also the gas bills will be fallen on the landlord instead tenants should pay their use with landlords have LCP (landlord cooperation program) protection with PGW.Does anyone have solution for this and who is willing to join the effort to fight the city that actually encourages that criminal behavior?

Most humans, once our basic needs and security are met, are far better off in life by measuring incremental joy than by measuring incremental financial returns.

Definitely get that legal opinion, not just on the OA but on whether this is offering a security or not.

The seller got really mad over something and kept the security deposit.

@Kevin Kohler was looking mainly for typical residential HeLoC access with the property securing it.

IE: House Hacking - 1) Identify a 2-4 unit property I can live in and rent the other units such that net rents cover most of or exceed the mortgage payment, goal: live rent cheap-or-free; 2) Secure long-term fixed rate mortgage/debt; 3) Hold and live in the property as I focus on honing my property management systems/skills and accumulate of capital for the next deal.Step 2: Call financial institutions (local banks, I'd start with Happy State. credit unions, Frost, etc) and figure out financing options for your chosen strategies.

Even hard money loans without your home being used as security like a HELOC loan.

Forfeiture of 1 month’s amount of security deposit?

Questions:I am wondering how we should officially consider and designate “ownership” of the property and on the title report.Should We consider it joint tenancy?
