Andraise, in NH I would then be allowed to collect $2.00 total from the tenant at move in, because state statute says I can only collect 1 months rent plus the security deposit which cannot to be any higher than 1 months rent.

Who would be the best source to hire to show vacant units and collect applications without packaging it with full property management services?

My goal in investing in real estate is to purchase homes to collect rent to subsidize my income ~$500-$1000 a month.

Around here PM's charge 10% of collected rent plus half a month for a turnover.

As to cash funded notes or equity funded (seller financed) loans that are purchased to an extent, the note holder is only entitled to be indemnified to the extent of their financial interest, the UPB together with actual and allowable costs of collection, nothing more.

The cost of the inspection is added to the cost basis.Certain financing costs such as appraisal required by the lender are costs of financing that are "collected" at settlement and should be deducted in the year of settlement.Just how I see it.

Kyle RiceWe will sign a lease weeks/months in advance and collect the security deposit.

Quick thought, in my experience of looking through MFR deals anything renting for around $500/month will not be "turnkey" as there is much to do with that tenant demographic (evicitions, collections, etc).

I believe we are not allowed to collect "last" month's rent as landlords in CA.I agree with others, definitely get the full security deposit.
