The better question is do you really need to get a pet deposit based on this? 

I factored the cost of that capital into my calculations from the start (working the numbers backwards from the ARV to the purchase price)(this also encouraged me to buy the properties at a lower cost). 

A follow up question:Is it true that if Monthly rent is >= 1% of purchase price should be considered as a good investment and which does not meet this should not be considered for good investment?

As painful as this lesson was, it made me make major operational changes.

Just earlier this year I got my buyer below list price, a large credit towards closing costs, and it appraised for higher.

I am new to this and am looking for some guidance.

This is so helpful!  

My apologies Kathleen, I am not on this platform very often.

I am now doing this and would like to know if you are still doing dispo's with investors. if so, please give me some what what you have learned over the years 

@Chris Seveney We havent asked this question yet, How would we structure this?
