So you all have to weigh your options .   

I know I need to hold the security deposit in an escrow account.  

Since they are responsible for maintaining the relationship with you after the transaction closes, this approach adds an extra layer of confidence and security to your investment. 

However, if you want long-term stability and predictable payments, refinancing might be a better option, especially for larger projects.

@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

Account Closed a PMC has two options to get liability insurance (tenant slip & fall) protection:1) Get added to owner's policy as Additionally Insured (NOT named insured).2) Setup a master commercial policy and add every property they manage to it and then charge those owners the cost of the policy.Otherwise, a PMC CANNOT get liability coverage on a property they have no ownership interest in.So, nothing wrong with their request.

The best option is to respond quickly and professionally in hopes that they move out.I would give the tenant two options: 1. vacate the rental in one week, leaving it in the same condition as when they moved in, and I will refund their deposit within 72 hours; or2.

Totally understand, I’m more asking if that is even a viable option if I’m looking to put little/no money down.

The only other option I see is a short sale, if you don't need to purchase for a few years and don't mind a temporary credit hit to save the $60k.
