Then have her sign her own lease with her own security deposit.

They collect from borrowers and pay note holders - super easy auto-withdrawal and auto-deposit.  

Confirm all expenses via tax returns and income from deposits and rent rolls.When you say expenses does that include debt service?  

You want to be sure your funds are transferred to your new SDIRA form your current IRA/retirement plan custodian in time for an earnest money deposit to be sent out, as you cannot user personal funds for this.  

I told her that I would get back with her, but that at the very least they'd have to give up her security deposit and make the unit available to show (they keep the unit pretty clean from what I can tell).  

Cash, with big earnest money deposits, is indeed king. 

I have also heard of relocation assistance packages with short sales up to 25,000 or 30,000 in some cases although the amounts are usually less.A smart tenant will count if it is 4 months before they get me out at 1,400 a month that is 5,600 plus I will need first months rent at the new place and security deposit with moving costs and time away from my job.All that will approach cash for keys at 10,000 and the tenant would need to find a place they like just as much as where they are living now.

Offer him some part of your profit or pay his security deposit to move into an apartment; something like that.

No proof that a security deposit was paid.

As for the down payment, I was considering having my business partner deposit the a small portion of monies into escrow, but you are claiming it needs to be seasoned; possibly 2 months, like residential loans.Also, I was unaware that on commercial loans a reserve would be necessary.I'm aware, on residential investment properties, a 3 month reserve on existing loans is required, and a few months on the subject property.
