Lately, there have been more and more tenants that go online to buy an emotional-support dog certificate to avoid paying pet security deposit.

We had a tenant move in 4 years ago and pay their security deposit.

I’m looking for input from private lenders and operators who have experience structuring secured loans for small commercial manufacturing businesses.Here’s the situation:I operate a Delaware holding company that owns a licensed cannabis-infused beverage and consumer goods manufacturing operation in Denver.

Do you view unpaid security deposit post-move-in as a serious red flag?

I never charge one month’s rent = to the security deposit.

Inherited a 3/2 single-family property in rural Mississippi that is approximately 90% complete.Remaining work: ~ $20,000Back property taxes: ~ $6,500Family loan ($10,000) can be repaid at closingEstimated finished value: realistically $120,000–$140,000 (not assuming top-end pricing).We believe we would need approximately $25,000–$30,000 to finish the property cleanly and list it for sale, though we are pressure-testing that assumption.Challenge:• Thin credit file on my end (695 score, limited history)• Husband has income but prior negative credit history• Seasonal and variable income (no stable W2 employment)• We cannot support required monthly loan paymentsWe are specifically trying to determine whether a short-term loan (6–12 months), secured by the property, with interest-only or accrued interest payable at closing, is realistic in this scenario.Questions for experienced investors:Are loans structured with accrued interest (paid entirely at closing) realistic for a borrower profile like this?

Does anyone have a similar job board you use to plan ahead and stay on top of regular maintenance items, etc for each property?

One thing I always encourage my clients to do is to secure their investment legally, not just contractually.For example: where possible, I advise them to register a charge against the developer.
