@Abby Howe At bare minimum these monies should be held in a separate account that is designated to "security deposits".

They ultimately held up our deal and blamed it on insurance...saying due to the condition, no one would insure the property which was b.s...we've had far worse properties insured and a tenant had just moved out.

Hey, thanks for laying that all out — this sounds like one of those headache tenant situations where you're doing your part, but they’re angling for something extra.First off: can you be held liable?

The 45 day ID period and the 180 closing period still apply however so it can become more challenging with multiple properties to buy in a set timeline.1.5) For tax reporting purposes it is generally advised to close on the new properties in the same name/entity your previous properties were held in - keeps records clean.

However, there are a few complications that limit your traditional lending options: the property is held in an LLC, your income is currently low due to the ramp-up of your self-employment, the property's future use as a primary residence or rental is undecided, and you're looking for a revolving credit product, not just a one-time loan.Traditional banks rarely offer HELOCs on properties held in an LLC, especially a single-member LLC.

Real Estate investment is a risky business, and if you are accepting a fee for your expertise, you can also be held accountable for any advice you give.

The old adage for student rentals has held true in my airbnb experience in the Triangle: Heads in beds goes a long way in total revenue.

I went to several of the LIOS webinars including that one (those were the highly desirable cucumbers deal where you bought the greenhouse and they held the land correct?).  

Financing and Complexity: An LLC can make financing more challenging and expensive since banks often offer better terms on personal loans for real estate than LLC-held properties.
