@Emilio Basa, your should try calling the company that @Middy Matthews suggested, since you are both in the same state and a referral is usually worth its weight in gold.

Going forward, in case something happens to me (death) what is the best way to secure here money?  

I thought when they signed the lease, they need to give me a security deposit.

I am trying to get creative with a recent off market deal that was sent my way and was wondering how I might secure my financial interest in a property which I would like the owner to carry the note until time of sale.

Is there a security deposit that you will collect from them?

We always install security doors with alarm systems on our homes.

Good morning and Shalom peace to all.I just finished rehabbing a 2 unit I bought in Easton, PA. The neighborhood is up and coming and the price was right. I decided to install wi-fi cameras in the property to monitor ...

Many in this generation will be relegated to relying almost exclusively on Social Security income alone.

I think I made a nice profit; I got more than 5-times my original investment I think I got hosed a little when selling, but the profit was still very good and the experience was worth it's weight in gold...Just stirring up the memory makes me want to go find another deal now and get to work again building a team and conquer another project!

See if you can't get him to allow you to substitute the security of the notes from one piece of real property to another.
