I just secured a contract on a 5 unit residential building in the NW corner of Missouri in a state college town. 

You could try positioning it to a bank that you're going to put that money into the property, increase the value of the property and make the loan more secure.

Your home is a secured debt.

If you're looking to secure any financing they will want to know more specifics as well in what you are trying to acquire. 

Tell them if you perform the punch list now that they will get their security deposits back sooner. 

You stated that you inherited this tenant.Did you also inherit their security deposit?

I'm going to put a package together to walk around to all the local backs and email to the backs out of compute distance.

If you are already buying under market value, the cost of repair may be worth taking on to secure the deal.

As long as the numbers work, it will be to your benefit to secure as many units as possible with that cheap 30 year traditional financing while it's available to you.

My Chase Business savings account pays negligible interest, and I would like a higher interest bearing account in which to place security deposits so I can keep the interest (in Michigan where this is allowed).Where is a good place to put security deposits to get significant interest?
