Looking forward to reviewing these options.Here's the PA law: https://clsphila.org/housing/security-deposits-in-pa/Any bank account will work.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

Begin by targeting distressed properties in gentrifying neighborhoods, securing financing through hard money lenders or private investors, and focusing on cost-effective renovations.

Traditional bank loans can be slow and have strict requirements, while hard money and private lending seem to offer more flexibility.For those who’ve secured funding before, what’s been your experience?

Here's the deal: You don't need to withdraw and return the current security deposit just to collect the additional $100.

@Brady Bitter First what are you calling "securities"? 

Local investors can now get additional discounts by moving up the food chain and buying as notes and, on mortgages secured by vacant properties, utilizing the preREO strategy to generate revenue during foreclosure process.

Yes, you can deduct the 8 days rent from the security deposit.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
