Hi @Kenneth Kirkland, When you buy a property, the assets transfer but money like security deposits or reserve funds doesn’t automatically.

No deposit.

How much do you charge for a security deposit?

Jeff Beach the owner has taken deposits for over 2 years from clients.

The seller refused to transfer the deposit.  

Double check the 'proof' of income, not only with employer verification, but with bank statements/deposits.3. 

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

They purchased using a program that finances 100% of your purchase/rehab on paper, and takes a 15% deposit as cash-collateral that they hold until you refinance.• $60k purchase• $35k rehab• $95k total rehab loan payoff• 15% deposit = $14,250 "down payment"• $126k ARV (confirmed via refinance appraisal, borrower expected this to be higher)• 80% rate/term refinance ($100,800 loan) @ 6.75% [700-719 FICO]• Applied $4k of deposit to payoff for an updated payoff amount of $91k• Cover closing costs with 80% r/t refi + $2k back to borrower at closing (still considered a r/t refi if under $2k) + remaining $10,250 deposit reimbursed after payoff = $12,250 total back to borrower• $4k of his deposit + closing costs for rehab loan = his "cash" in the deal• $1,250 market rents• Total PITI = $765.62• DSCR = 1.6327 I do not see the hold costs.  

I collect a security deposit hold against the guest's credit card, so that I do not have to rely solely upon the Airbnb "damage coverage".
