However, I am having trouble securing financing for this property.

Was curious about the process and possibility of securing a rental via a hard money loan and refinancing out of it within a month.

If you get a deed on a rented property are you then on the hook for security deposit, etc?

He did it through (1) professional website (2) constantly optimized for SEO (3) new social media articles at timely intervals (4) sponsorship of charitable events (5) ongoing public relations campaign (6) billboards (7) advertising in local newspapers (8) SEM .  

Our goal is to secure the best possible loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, ideally around 80%.

Just download all your transactions monthly to excel and just code them there (rental income, security deposit, insurance, taxes, and etc).

Inspection and clean drain of debris, and re-secure drain fasteners if necessary.

So I'm wondering if I was to get a business loan based on the rental income of the properties and secured by the properties themselves.

Would these be found in public records? 

Very difficult to force collection on a debt not secured by an asset.
