I have arranged for Bulldog ADT to hook up security in my house, but I'd like to know if anyone else has worked with them before.

 @Stanley Kong I just received 1 month notice in my duplex yesterday and I believe I will list for 1200, I try to Keep things clean and performing well and it will be at the top of the range with a monitored security system and dishwasher.

We recommend they fill out the application first to see if they meet our minimum requirements to secure a showing.

2) how many offers did you put in before you secured your first house? 

I was looking at a development investment in a mining town in Western Australia (WA) (structured and managed by a 3rd pty) but held off last year as job security was somewhat uncertain and had a little one (now arrived) on the way.  

I also tell them their lease will be upheld, and list what the rent is and the security deposit is, along with the end date to make sure we are all in agreement.  

IMO, nailing small lenders will be more profitable than workmen's comp claims or social security disability claims, which have limitations.The CFPB also as an education department, once that is in place they will begin public information activities.

Using Zero Coupon Bonds to Secure a Loan, Sale Lease Backs (not with distressed properties), using loan to equity options, and more.

The foreclosure path is the most expensive path and you can put a lot of weight on that one, i.e., if a foreclosure exit doesn't work, then the deal should not be done. 

I agree with @Dick Rosen.All of my rents are due on the 1st as well, but I have some long term tenants who get Social Security.
