Deals already sell extremely fast in this market and without a non-refundable down payment it becomes harder for the real investors to secure good deals, not easier.Also about the deal fees.

Offer an incentive, like smaller security deposit than expected or offer a two weeks free move-in special. 

Additionally I will take responsibility to secure long term financing on the property (with all of the investors guaranteeing the property) and then using the cash outs to keep acquiring more properties.I realize that all of the investors eventually want to get paid back which can be resolved through an eventual liquidating of the portfolio or refinancing the deal to pay off investors.Do any of you have experience doing this?

I put more weight on credit history and income/employment.

Or they can drill a hole through the closet in the master bedroom so the network cable can be routed from outside and the modem hooked up in the master bedroom.The whole point of doing this is to secure a modem and router in the master bedroom since my friend will Airbnb the unoccupied rooms but doesn't want to leave the modem/router in an unsecured location for security.1) If she chooses to route the network cable from the closet, is there a good way to lay down the cable so people don't trip over it? 

Given you have so many things going on simultaneously, no one would/should fault you for going the safe route of securing a primary residence first.

If it needs 10k in repairs then I subtract 10k from my 60 Xs.In your last question are you asking how much you should charge for a security deposit? 

What I can see, is a whole week wasted with zero effort put towards securing a deal you can sell.Refocus, do some mailers, put up bandit signs, knock on doors, find some property locators, D4D, etc. 

I did already collect a 1.5 month security deposit. the most I can legally collect in NJI am a bit pissed off that I was lied to, but at this time I have no interest in evicting her since she pays on time and I know I would lose at lease 1 months rent while looking for another tenant.

I believe the value goes up based on how ornate they are, but any are worth at least something per section, or at the very least their weight at a scrap yard.
