I find new lending opportunities by networking at local RE Meetups, Training Classes and real estate functions.   

When I bought my STR, a couple of months after I closed I was killing it with bookings.

What did the Ohio Division or Real Estate say? 

Assuming the leases clearly state a security deposit amount, the seller knows that the tenant will be wanting a refund when the lease ends (after closing) so should be an easy reminder that you need those funds credited to you at closing from them to refund to the tenant when needed.If the seller spent the tenants deposit, at least the credit to you at closing comes out of the sales proceeds (seller just nets that much less at closing) and assuming they have sufficient equity should not be a big deal.  

I am a recent college graduate who worked in finance immediately after college, but knew that real estate was the path I wanted to eventually go down.
