@Lee Lockhart  It sounds like you paid this an earnest money deposit directly to the wholesaler. 

Depositing the cash flow will pay down $7200, leaving you with a final payment of $12,800.

The landlord has two months rent (a security deposit and last months rent) already and a total of 10 weeks notice.

The rent is direct deposited into your account on the first every month3.

I try to avoid pets whenever possible, I presume your state allows a fee for pets, my experience is the deposit is never big enough. 

we may start renting our vacant units again… but because of the now increased risk guess what will happen to the move-in requirements... yeah they’ll increase too… we’re talking about full allowable security deposits, two first full months of rent due instead of the previous first full month and even possible ACH pre-authorizations and credit card authorization information as a backup.

This is downside protection.2) Security Deposit: In the event of eviction, the landlord can keep the security deposit as collateral for one month's rent.

Options: work out a payment plan; use part of the deposit and have it reimbursed later; suggest they use a credit card (I have a Square account just for such purposes) to pay the rent; ETC. 

You didn't have official financial commitment from the lender by the 21 days so they would have to refund your deposit, so don't worry about that. 

I really only want one of the two houses now, and would wait for that one, the other one I don’t even want anymore, because all of these delays have impacted my ability to fund the repairs.I placed a ten percent deposit on each property, and would like that back from either one or both properties.
