Now, keep in mind that you will need to come up with your own Earnest Money Deposit or Down Payment when you make the offer. 

It also helped to let him hold on to my earnest money deposit until the transaction was completely done.

It’s not much of a big deposit is needed to open the account as well.

She is low income and did not have the best credit score so I collected a larger deposit than normal.

I've only worked with one contractor and he "required" half when the service was scheduled...but i never paid him until the job was done..i guess he forgot to collect the deposit.

The flipper I am working with says he will put a demand in writing that we get paid our dues and that I should make a contract between me and my lender and me and him(the flipper) to be deposited with the title company.

I've been using it for a few months now and it usually takes 6 calendar days for me to get the deposit (though this month it was only 5 days for some reason).

Let's say no where in a lease does it state "No pets allowed" or spell out conditions for having a pet such as "Cats accepted with extra $250 security deposit." 

Pets can ruin carpets and flooring and stain walls.Kids who are not supervised and parented correctly can damage drywall,plug up toilets,destroy back yard landscaping,etc.They're both something you have to deal with one way or another but at least with pets you can charge a deposit!!

None had any paper on them, they hadn't been screened at all and hadn't paid a deposit.
