I am hoping someone with experience in conducting title searches will read this.I became displaced in 2014 from a 13 year position in customer service.

On occasion, I have also asked for last month's rent if a potential tenant looks good, but is moving in from out of state and has not secured a job yet.And, while I think first month's rent and security equal to first month's is pretty typical, I'm sure there are some areas where local customs can also demand last month's rent and/or a higher or lower security deposit.In my current city of NOLA, some of the big apartment complexes will run "move in" specials. 

I try to go the extra mile to make my properties stand out from the competition...without breaking the bank of course.I discovered Bigger Pockets 2+ years ago, and have incorporated it into my daily reading routine, with most of my reading taking place during lunch.
