I can't speak to the specifics of your deal without knowing more about it, but for every deal I've been involved in, disposition of the property is required to satisfy all parties. 

Ex:   We had a 1031 disposition fall out, but already had a replacement property and loan lined up.  

Schedule B of said doc includes the following wording:The following are the requirements to be complied with: - Proper Disposition of Statement of Lien for unpaid Condominium Assessments, recorded on...in the amount of $10,033.07.- Proper Disposition of Contract Judgment, recorded on.... in the amount of $5,706.27.- Proper Disposition of Judgment, recorded November 06, 2013 in, Case No..., in the amount of $4,970.23.- Proper Disposition of Contract Judgment, recorded August 09, 2017 in, Case...., in the amount of $13,678.36.

Make sure you send the security deposit disposition within the state mandated timeframe so you dont get in trouble with that.

Dollar-cost averaging into the purchase and the disposition is a perfectly fine strategy, and requires very little time and energy.

On the past 8 NPN deals I've been involved, the average annualized returns are 40%+ (actuals and projected), with ROI's ranging from 14% to 70%, purchase to disposition  ranging from 6 to 21 months and average hold time 13 months.  

First Download your state landlord tenant laws so you know time frame as to when you have to mail out a security deposit disposition or refund by. 

@Michael Healy , The Form 8949 is for the sale or disposition of the Capital Asset.

When you're married, your interests are more likely to aligned as to what disposition the disposition of your property would be in the event of something happening, at least presumably so anyhow.Best of luck!

My hope is that 2% may be rational, have equity in the house, but unfortunately have extenuating circumstances that require a fast disposition.
