Closing will not occur for 6 weeks - All utilities are currently on but wondering if I should turn off Gas & Water since the house is vacant & only leave the Electric on for security reasons.  

After my first property was a success, I decided to leverage my first property to get a HELOC and then used that money to secure a home loan.

(Security-Widefield near Fort Carson had some of the biggest home value increases of anywhere in the state last year.)

Purchase price: $225,000 Cash invested: $22,000 After my first property was a success, I decided to leverage my first property to get a HELOC and then used that money to secure a home loan.

What do I do with his security deposit?

And I already took the listing down and cancelled a couple people I had booked to show it for today.Would you keep the security deposit only?

First off, the odds of you ever being sued for anything more than a security deposit dispute are extremely slim.

@Josh Caldwell Josh, do you think hard money strategy can be employed for securing a multi unit (4 units residential) if secured with a HM lender who will refinance the original loan after a specified period of time?

Few landlords and PMs do this and I just don't understand why.Housing Authorities' ease of business varies widely across the country but I find in general, once you learn the processes, you can count on them every time so if something isn't going as it should, you can reach out to keep the train moving on paperwork and such.Feel free to reach out if I can help further.
