SELLER HAS TENANTS THAT ARE FAMILY MEMBERS

[Lucas Andrews]

Hello BP Community,

Love everything about this site. 

 I am a noob investor. I am a part time investor and pretty much utilize all the free marketing I can to source deals.

I have a situation. A seller called me yesterday and said he had a property for sale. He said there is people living at the property that are not paying rent and he does not want to deal  with kicking them out.

The seller acquired the property from his Uncle who couldn't afford it anymore about 4 Months ago. So they did a transfer and he got a conventional loan. 

The property has about 215K left on the note and comps are going for about 315-330k. 

The problem i am running into is that the person living in the house is the X wife of the uncle who transferred the property and she is refusing to leave.  The Title report shows a inter spousal transfer deed to the uncle back in 2004.

I am not to sure what rights the tenant (xwife) have. The seller doesn't even want me to contact the people at the residence. If I took the risk got this under contract and got financing, purchase the house.  

It a depressing situation but as investors its sometime what we have to deal with. 

Has anyone had to deal with something like this or have any strategies?

Thank You,

Lucas
