How should the security deposit be managed in this transition?

I feel like just about every month, I see RE investors with 1-2 year's experience starting a new fund and advertising on Facebook for LP's, as well as the daily "JV deals" that straight-up violate securities laws.

By leveraging my knowledge of the transaction and timing, I negotiated favorable terms, securing a rare townhouse investment opportunity in Charlotte’s historic Fourth Ward.

This is because so much new multi family supply has come online.

 You may be able to secure higher leverage financing through alternative lenders than a traditional bank (not always the case) and this may help advance your objective of reducing the down payment/cash requirement but that may only be temporary relief as you will likely pay more over the course of the loan because of higher rates and fees.

I apply their security deposit first ($1,500) and then charge them for the remaining $2,500 owed.

There is plenty of end user demand, but not enough housing supply or enough equity capital.
