Those who fill out a guest card or express an interest via an email or phone call are not "officially" denied because they didn't officially fill out an app. 

So what does one do/ say in order to be taken serious and thus get what is needed.At this point, I do not have an official business as yet ( but the logo etc are being worked on now). 

In a perfect world, the current PMC would send tenants a "Good-bye Letter" stating who the new PMC is and the official date of the transfer.

For example: https://www.aoausa.com/secure/... 

My largest security deposit was $5k on a 500k commercial property. 

My contract didn’t include any language around the current tenants, security deposits, etc.

When you return the security deposit, put both their names on it.

Once I've secured a hard money loan and used it to buy/rehab a home, how do I present my current situation to a traditional lender when acquiring a conventional loan on the property? 

For the applicant that I accept as my first tenant, send them an acceptance letter and collect security deposit + first months rentI am sure there is something (maybe a lot) that I am missing.

I have some experience with fix and flip as my sister has her own LLC but nothing with securing lenders.
