He usually comes out better that way, but it’s security for me if the project goes awry.

I bought a rental here a few weeks back on a 1031 exchange and rented it for 1950.00 within 5 days.. 100k plus income 750 plus fico Military contractor first last and security deposit.. so I dont know seems OK to me.. in Vegas you dont need the 1% rule to make 1% returns ..

I wrapped those four wires with tape, inserted plastic guards into the jacket where the wires come out, and secured the wires to the box with the appropriate connector (designed for jacketed cable, it has a set screw for the ground).While the studs were open I found another romex that had been run from the basement into the attic, in that tiny space between the main plumbing stack and the wall cavity (it was in there tight) - there were little to no signs of wall disturbance and the guy who ran it must have been the greatest, or luckiest ever.

I used to give the 1% rule a ton of weight, and I still look at it when analyzing a deal, but it's not a deal breaker.

@Jay Hinrichs I have always looked at this as a balancing act between having cash reserves (accepting lower returns on your money for greater security) and profit margins. 

The tenant will also put down $2400.00 for security deposit.  

Cash-out refi or perhaps a secured line of credit.

Everyone knew them and that was a good thing.Favelas have a different sense of community, justice, security, ride-sharing, etc.
