I know I need to do a final inspection and tell them to return the keys and I return the security deposit. 

(Must be in another area, lol).As an agent, and a property manager, (both specializing in commercial property), I would recommend the following only because seems like an off market property-1- Viewing the leases making sure current owner can sell as there is no ROFR.2- Any security deposits.3- Confirming tenants are paying with either an estoppel certificate or simple as viewing deposits. 4- I’m sure the title search will come up with CO on legal commercial with 4 Resi.

Why would someone lay out their money to you if you don't have data and evidence to support your deal flow in the past so they can feel secure about the future?

No security deposit, etc.

Hopefully you have it in your contract that you get prorated rent for Nov and the security deposits transfer over. 

But it seems like securing financing for this kind of deal would be fairly straightforward as long as my financial situation supports it.

Any tips on how to secure my property during the renovation period?

Tenant texts me today saying bring security deposit to final walkthrough or he can't move out.
