If you have several properties, it becomes a lot of work if you one bank account for each tenant, so most people just switch to tracking the amounts through an accounting package but still holding all the security deposits in one separate account.On our apartments, we have all those funds in the operating accounts and keep careful track of each resident's deposit in our accounting package.

31 August 2025 | 3 replies
Quote from @Ryan Spath: Practical suggestion:25% down is generally strong enough, but don’t go lower.Get a solid attorney to draft the note, deed of trust, and balloon structure.Consider selling one or two at a time instead of packaging all three — unless the right buyer comes along who’s strong financially.You could even keep one property as a “backup” cash-flowing rental, and sell the others.Ryan thanks for this ! 
Barbara Johannsen How Do You Source Your Best Notes?
5 September 2025 | 1 reply
In my experience, the best notes often come from a mix of sources depending on your strategy:Direct from banks or lenders: Often the cleanest deals with clear documentation, but sometimes require more upfront networking.Brokers: They can package notes and provide access to deals you might not find on your own, though fees can apply.Secondary markets/online platforms: Good for smaller investors or those looking for volume, but you need to do your due diligence carefully.Personally, I combine these approaches, building strong relationships with a few banks and brokers while occasionally checking secondary markets for off-market opportunities.How about you do you have a preferred channel for sourcing high-quality notes?
