A well-drafted hold-harmless agreement puts pre-closing liabilities on the seller.

I'm not sure about steel doors, but the exterior grade fiberglass doors come pre-hung with a threshold. 

@Zeni Kharel When you're considering buying a home, there are several tax strategies and considerations to keep in mind during the pre-purchase phase.

This is insane that these guys got that large of deposits on a pre sale rental house construction sent directly to them. 

I have already talked to hard money lenders and got the pre approval.

Quote from @Bevin Bankston: I’m pre-approved for a multi-family loan and recently came across an off-market property in Bellingham, MA.

We've tried groups like Lima One and Kiavi, but they just don't work for our model — their DSCR underwriting is based on market rents, not actual lease terms, and STR want 12 month's of existing performance.Here’s an example deal:Purchase Price: $400,000Lease Terms: 3-year lease at $4,000/monthMarket Rent: ~$2,500/monthBecause DSCR lenders are using the lower market rent, we get capped on LTV and lose the leverage we need — even though our tenant-buyer is pre-approved, fully underwritten, and putting down 10%.We operate two private real estate funds and close 2–4 single-family homes/month for pre-approved rent-to-own tenants.

Quote from @Daniel Sehy: Hey everyone —We’re actively expanding our portfolio into student housing and building long-term buy-and-hold strategies around Tier-2 and SEC campus markets.Target Criteria:80+ units (purpose-built or converted)Within 3–5 miles of campusMarkets with growing student populations and limited new supplyIdeally pre-leased or with some operational track recordWe’re open to both on- and off-market opportunitiesWe’ve modeled our acquisition approach around high-yield, Tier-2 university markets (think: Coastal Carolina, Troy, Kennesaw, Eastern Kentucky) where competition is lower, student demand is steady, and mom-and-pop owners still control a big chunk of inventory.We’re also looking at core SEC metros — Auburn, Columbia, Knoxville, etc. — but only where value and scale align.My ask:Who are the sharpest agents or brokers in your network with real student housing experience (not just MF)?

Next Practical StepYou don’t need 10 different strategies — just one solid pre-approval so when you see a deal you can move.

Once the fee is paid, the scammer disappears without delivering the loan.
