I always research companies first before doing business, but that comes from my training and working on security issues, especially after having my sites hacked. 

Smart cameras like **Ring** or **Arlo** can be a good option, and you can hide the recording box in a locked area for added security.

I recommend having your deals secured by a mortgage and a promissory note for your investors.

The security deposit should never be used for anything during the lease.

If your DSCR has improved or market rates have dropped, refinancing might secure you better terms and improve cash flow.

While I secured the initial financing for the property, I have two other partners/groupings (a total of 6 people) that are contributing to the closing. 

But if do a BRRRR from far away that's risky too, without a really good and trustworthy team in place and lots of checks and balances (security cameras, someone local to check on your property) and the ARV and refinance aspect can be challenging.  

Are you priced fairly and have a low security deposit?

You want to make sure that asset is secure.

We know we want to create an llc but is it difficult to secure a loan?
