One of the tenants had a security deposit that was not on the lease or on the e-stoppel, and the other two tenants claim they pay $500 less in rent (each) than the leases / e-stoppels show. 

If it a good idea besides higher rent rates and higher security deposits what else should be different than a 12-month lease???

I'm a couple of weeks out from closing on a 10 unit property. The deal is great, with amazing financing terms... it will cash-flow on day one. My only concern is 60% of the leases are month to month (some have been mo...

If they do, that is an early sign that that person may not be the right tenant to occupy your property.Collect DepositsThe standard security deposit is usually equal to one month’s rent, but some states law allows property owners to collect up to two months’ rent for a security deposit.

I'm hoping to get the communities opinion on selling securities (Stocks, Index Fund, ETFs) to make a down payment.

I didn't see any content for how charges to the security deposit are handled.

Same goes for HELOC loans, secured credit lines, etc.It is very dangerous to be overleveraged so keep that in mind but I also know it is incredibly difficult to start out with no money so you have to either make that down payment (second job, lower expenses, etc.) or over leverage.

Problem is I don’t have cash to secure the property that others might have.

We collect security deposits to cover cleaning or damages that may arise out of the tenancy.

I’m trying to secure the title etc.And again, I know this is a tangled web and the correct steps that should’ve been taken to avoid all of the above.
