Quote from @Matt Meier: Good morning,I’ve come across a renovation property available at a significant discount and would like to secure it without going the traditional 6-month financing route.

When I started, I  submitted great deals to a corporate cash buyer,  they went behind my back and secure the deals with the sellers, after the  contracts expired.

I will secure the loan for everything.

Ensure you collect a proper security deposit (typically one month's rent in Florida) to cover potential damages.Your plan to increase rent next year makes sense given rising costs (taxes, insurance, and maintenance).

Renter's Insurance is a cheap date for the tenant; it protects their security deposit and assets. 

Separate accounts per property incurs a lot of overhead, such as minimum balances or fees for missing the minimum.I use separate accounts for each tenant's security deposits.

Currently, I don’t have secured funding, and my plan is to explore options like partnering with a partner and seeking assistance from a hard money lender.

We get just as frustrated because the system is a bit "broken":(I believe the team is in communication with you about your options - just be sure to also let us know your choice to secure the property to deter squatters as cost-effectively as possible.

Securing Lending shouldn't become a hurdle is the Deal numbers works. 

Unless the medical condition meets the state criteria for early termination and that the medical notice does not appear to suggest that, you cannot terminate the lease outright/immediately but that you will begin to market the property for rental and upon securing an acceptable tenant, the lease can be terminated pending a satisfactory property walkthrough indicating no damages.
