They will often voluntarily come up with increased security deposits, easily accept month-to-month rental contracts, and find other ways to work with you.

This written confirmation will give you peace of mind knowing that the loan was paid each month, and it also lets you know several months in advance if you are going to have problems because the buyer isn't paying and is therefore depleting the escrow account.And lastly, hang onto your 10k deposit and keep it handy.
