What's more, the PM should have gone over when the unit was vacant to make sure it was secure (and lights and taps were turned off). 

I have mlo in Oregon and it’s the division of consumer finance and corporate securities. ca probably has a version of thathowever I did all my loans with my ca brokers license  

The agreement specifically allowed KeyGlee to use the End Buyer's EMD to secure the underlying contract with the actual seller... and to forfeit that EMD if the End Buyer failed to close.

Depending on the application, first, last, security, and another month or two.

To stay secure, I’d recommend saving 3-6 months of mortgage payments, budgeting for repairs, and possibly investing in a home warranty.

Agree with @Jeff Pollack on having the guts to leave the security of a JOB.

My updated expected monthly rental income will be $2,800, resulting in a cash flow of $795 per month (excluding my share of the split utilities).I plan to set aside at least 80% of my cash flow for property-related expenses.Additionally, I’ll be installing keypads and security cameras for enhanced safety and operational efficiency.

I have a clause in the lease that says the security deposit will be held in so and so bank with so and so address and interest rate will be xyz.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

The lender lent based on them being one thing which secures the debt.
