Based on what I saw, this property has no potential of being ported over to public water.

Financing the debt at below market rates would ensure that it'll make business sense for you not to refinance that debt for quite some time, keeping his payments secure.

I am okay holding it but wanted to issue a "holding deposit" that would turn into part of security deposit at lease signing, but if for some reason they back out it could semi- recoup the cost of holding and not advertising. 

For example, you buy the place and the tenant could claim the Seller allowed them to paint the walls black or that their security deposit was twice what the Seller claimed.
