I required a deposit to hold the home.

@Adrian Hollifield most I have dealt with will give money in stages like a bank loan on a house big or major rehab i.e. sheetrock done $10k, paint done $5k, cabinets in $15k, etc sp you don't need to front it all, but you need to front the deposit and some progress payments if the lender is slow on releasing payments.

This "buyer" put down $20 EMD---earnest money deposit.

He didn't give me the impression that he wanted a large deposit, and he was happy with anything. 

And a mix and match of different types/sectors/locations of properties on your 45 day list doesn't matter either as long as they are real estate that you intend to hold for productive use. 

I’ve only ever done it to match the backsplash/tile I was using, but in your case it might be the cleanest option.

I'm putting in an offer for my first ever Duplex this month and I have been fully catching up on laws, fees, security deposits, etc but I can't seem to come around the correct article to help me make the correct choice in choosing between a personal checking account or a business one.

I typically guarantee my house will be ok, by making sure i get a security deposit equivalent to one months rent, AND getting the first months rent.

It doesn't matter what seems high or not, each property on Hubzu is differently and they have been requested more in deposits and in a credit card hold to bid to prevent fraud.Hubzu is fine, but the bidding is like eBay.

It's a travertine with a great feel and the only tile that matches the existing set up close to the price point. stone look Porcelain feels cheap IN THIS instance and clearly printed on.
