Personal checks for security deposit aren’t a good idea, so I would recommend not accepting them as a payment method on move in.

We’re just at an impasse of what the next step could be to secure this property. 

So we are no way experience at all.Here is the info:- 3 UNITS - 2BD/1BA - 1 UNIT - 1BD/1BA- GYM ON PROPERTY UNDER UNIT 1- SECURITY SYSTEM IN EACH UNIT WITH 3 OUTDOOR CAMERAS- POOL WITH LARGE PARTY DECK- STONE FIRE PIT- SOLID SURFACE COUNTERTOPS- ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORS- STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCE PACKAGE-Potential Rent Calculated to be: $1,800, $2,700, and $2,800.As a noobie investor looking to get experience, I thought I would help my father move down and help run the property, find tenants, market, manage, etc. until I can systemize it and move back to Boston, MA (where we are currently located).

How do I follow through with the transaction and keep the property from going through the foreclosure process to secure the investment for me and the other investor?

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

In general, I’d highly recommend reading a book on syndications and speaking with a securities attorney. 

I am trying to refinance to secure a lower interest rate and pull out some equity.

I gave them a brand new SimpliSafe security system to install in a vacant house.I also paid them 1/2 of the rehab estimate to get the work done.

ROI is too low and to high risk income security wise.

Empirically speaking, it's not accurate to say the predicted ARVs are "inflated" (appraisals are used as just one input to estimating value).Raw data for each transaction is available in a public Google Sheet for investors to analyze.Visit https://blog.groundfloor.com/an-analysis-of-arv-es... for a link to the sheet and more details.
