Overall, the structure of the home is fine, but the interior walls are extremely dirty — stained, covered in handprints, and generally neglected.I had to hire a handyman to repaint the entire interior, which cost me $2,200 (it's a 4 bed / 2 bath single-story home).

Hi everyone. what is your take on security deposits when it comes to renting? i was thinking about collecting the first and second month of rent in place of it and make that non-refundable.

Furthermore in researching the subject and talking to several realtors I found problems in residential transaction involving titles are extremely rare and that a number of states have capped the amount that can be charged to protect consumers.So should I be upset about the cost of this insurance which I personally see little value in,  thanks for any comments.

I have somewhat of a dumb question regarding a maintenance concern.

So buying a solid house in a great neighborhood as a rental for all cash is extremely low risk.

This post is the first time leadership is hearing about your concerns.

@Adam King Thank you Adam, extremely kind of you. 

Also call your insurance company and many will only all up to 3 unrelated people living there.As for rent, it depends on your area, see what others are renting for, but $850 for a shared room seems extremely high and do you think your utilities will run $800 a month? 

I was very concerned as to what to do.

So while real estate can be extremely boring, it’s one more thing the experts do for the amount we already agreed on.
