Also note items like who pays for which utilities and deposits. 

At first, she handed me the deposit dressed up very trailer trash.

For the last three months, I actually filed in court and then received payment a few days after that.When he moved out, the house required $1,600 in repairs and cleaning which was fortunately covered by his deposit.

The previous landlord was all month-to-month, no leases, and no deposits.

I allow my tenants to:- Mail payment to my PO Box- Deposit money directly into my account at the bank- Pay online via Zelle- Set up automatic payments via CozyThere are pros and cons to each of them, but they all work (and are all free). 

As tenants, I think they can be evicted down the road for non-payment of their share of the rent (assuming Tenant Alpha covers the difference and provides proof to us of the brothers’ non-payment).Typically when making any exceptions to our rental qualification requirement standards, we expect a double security deposit, a qualified co-signer, or both.

Would it be safe to say the quicker you plan on closing, the less the EMD should be and the longer you plan on taking to close, the bigger your EMD should be?

They still have to return the deposits as well as balance I keep on hand with them for minor repair. 

The deposit, which was only 1 months rent at 850, is certainly not enough to cover the repair costs in their entirety.

To  BP investorsIf you ask for this post-closing loan from the buyer's agent, just make sure you make those payments on time by check and make them early because if you go to refinance they have to be paid off at the closing.And since it's a l second or even third mortgage on the property you have to prove that you've made the mortgage payment on or around the first of each month by 12 months checking account statements.Best to make it automatic deposit into the Realtors checking account.
