Pick an account that gets very little deposit activity because the lender you're financing the purchase with will want to verify that you've had the funds on hand for at least 2 to 3 months.

My smart move says to reject ,  I am thinking either a larger security deposit , and or a co signer .    

An under performing multi will take better managers in there than what was there, the property may have a tainted reputation, there can be deferred maintenance, if it's empty there is a lease up period where a new buyer needs more capital, and on and on and on......that bank doesn't want to see that property again if they really don't have to, really have to.But, if they are hung with a property, if they can find a strong borrower, that has experience they may give it another try, but they will be explaining that one in the next examination.When the say they want it off the books, they mean they want the liability off the books, they want REO assets off their books because they can't be in the ownership of real estate business and they want cash deposited instead of wasting RE.

Some of the auction sites require you to put up a significant deposit just to bid

We are about to close on a triplex in Fresno CA, which has 2/3 untis occupied. 1 of them has security deposit on file, and the other doesn't (family friend of past owner) I cant find anything that covers this situation, and wonder if anyone knows what kind of time frame I can require a deposit to be handed over?

Hi,My tenant just moved out after doing some minor damage in the property and I am going to refund her security deposit.

i've heard so many people 'winning' houses on auction dot com only the hear even a year later their 5k or 10k 'deposit' is being held meanwhile the house they 'won' keeps relisting for 'auction' every few weeks for years!

I'd be falling all over myself trying to explain to buyers how the option deposit is a good idea/investment.

She told us that she was giving us 30 days notice and that she sent a check for $300 and to apply her $800 deposit to the last months rent. 

Who paid the deposit/equity in the first place?
