Some people like to have a separate bank account for holding security deposits.  

If a prospective tenant can't come up with security, first, and usually last months rent they're not getting the keys to my property. 

@Felicia Richardson - Do you keep the security deposit funds in the same account at which you also receive rental payments?

Hi Arun, dealing with security deposits can be tricky!

If they can send you those results with the social security number and birthdate blacked out then you could choose to waive the screening altogether. 

My biggest challenge from my previous attempts was finding reliable contractors who actually show up and finish.For those of you successfully doing volume rehabs in WNY, what is your single best piece of advice for securing a reliable general contractor or a strong network of subs (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)?

One of these things that I've been thinking about is putting security cameras around the property (specifically in the driveway and front entrance area). 

You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.
