down payment for teh CFD would be 1 months security deposit.  

Bring a copy of your bank statement,, you can get a print out from your bank showing the checks had not been presented for deposit,, because your account would have shown the transaction as a returned check.. 

We pay no loan fees to withdraw and deposit, the interest is only on what we have borrowed at the time, and is super low (1.4%). 

Unless there's a weasel clause to get out of liability, most likely the buyer will forfeit their deposit if they don't close.

Originally posted by @James Wiltz:Yes understood, and that’s what the original question is, I’m sure there is a way that this can be accomplishedSo, if your deal was good enough, you CAN apply for that "Delayed Financing Exception" straight away - without having to come up with ANY further deposit.

In fact, if you send me a check, I will charge you $25 to deposit it.  

I am also concerned about fights over security deposits and any damages that may come out of it. 

You should also receive the deposits.- Our first rental was a 4-plex.

If a foreign citizen purchases property in USA under his/her own name & then rent it out or do a land contract and the tenant/buyer sends him a cheque which he deposits in his own country and pay taxes in his own country, how will he report it to IRS because he doesn't have a SSN or any tax #. 

Set the deposit at twice the monthly rent (tenant needs to know that they will loose that cash if they will not take care of your property).
