My offer - clever or dumb? please tell me what you think

[Marci Stein]

Totally dilapidated House ( nearly a tear down  )   on 6 acres upstate New York 

in hot area.

currently in foreclosure , couple living there , but need to sell before going to auction next week .
Asking $225 , 

multiple offer situation.

My offer : $75 k and allow them to stay there for one year at no cost.  
are there any pitfalls that I am not seeing with my offer , other than I know I’ll need to evict them in a year?

You’re going to offer $150k less than asking in a multiple offer situation? Who’s going to pay the balance owed to the bank? Either they have equity at $225k and will walk away with cash in hand (I can’t see them paying $150k in “rent” for 1 year) or the bank will want the balance owed to them.
