Very general question so "yes, it is possible" is a very general answer to match.

In my experience half of the  properties don't match public records and that's in your advantage since the taxes on 3/1 would be lower than 4/2..you should always check with the county to see what permits have been pulled on the property.

So if you could match the existing flooring you might take this route to get long life out of something “less cheap” looking than lvp. 

And I've matched my mindset to the dragging on of this project.

What do I do with his security deposit?

I agree with Scott to make sure it states this is a non-refundable deposit and once they move in, it will be transferred to their security deposit (ie the deposit is the full amount of the security deposit). 

First off, the odds of you ever being sued for anything more than a security deposit dispute are extremely slim.

Im imagining there would be a heafty interest rate, deposit of some type and perhaps 1-3 point required.

And here is the main reason why: your tenants will always match your property.

Or a dab of caulk and color match paint to the brick and you'd never notice it unless you looked for it.Is the outlet installed in brick or drywall?
