They told you to use the deposit to cover the rent, so you will be seeking a judgment for the damages that they caused, after they have moved.You may not have posted much lately, but I suggest you spend more time reading the BP forums to be better prepared for the next round of tenants.

What borrower can expect for an SBA loan is different than the process/docs required for a hard money loan or say a church loan.A knowledgeable broker should easily be able to impart their knowledge as to how a particular lender and/or loan program works or what the current market appetite is for a particular property type is.That, and a good broker should be willing to spend the time and work pro bono while they approach lenders.
