The property account has a Deposit subaccount so I can track/hold refundable funds separately.

Maybe something like a buy, rehab, rent, and hold strategy?

Finally, check with the Town to make sure there are no municipal liens, Make sure they're on Town sewer, check with the tax assessor to see how many bedrooms the tax office thinks there are, (important if you are flipping) buy ok to have more bedrooms if you are planning to buy and hold.  

We have been primarily buy and hold and wanted a secondary source of capital to fund our buy and holds.

That buy and hold was an amazing ROI!

I am not suggesting that you cannot diversify however are you looking for cash flow or is buying now, holding for appreciation and or forcing appreciation is your play.Good luck on your journey!

If they fail to pay, then you can choose to try eviction or just hold the charges until the end of their lease and collect it from their deposit.

Real estate is not the stock market and it's called buy & hold and not buy & sell for a reason.I did sell a few properties about 10 years ago when I learned the hard way that going into cheaper neighborhoods was not the right strategy for me, so that was basically a strategy correction and it was necessary, but also costly both in terms of dollars and time.

If you’re in the market for long-term buy-and-hold new construction properties, they’re definitely worth considering.
