Needing advice on how to proceed.

[Bryan Jones]

I need to consult the experts. I am a novice but have come across a deal. The seller’s mother has passed. The seller and her mother are the only people on the deed (verified by county website). The seller has a husband that she has to care for 24/7, so she told me I can go see the property. To my surprise someone was there (I later found out it is her “step father ish” lol) He was nice and let me to see the property. The seller was surprised he was still living there. She said he will be moving out, but he seemed to think he would be staying there. At least that’s what I gathered from our (me and him) conversation. The seller said she would evict him, but she provides 24 hour care for her husband. So my long winded question is how do I get him out prior to putting the house under contract? Or how would someone with more experience handle this? I have since visited the prop again and he became irate and said “she” the seller, is not putting him out of his woman’s house. 🤦🏿‍♂️ This is going to be a wholesale deal for me. (Still building my seed money to invest in multi-families) This is in Cincinnati Ohio. Again, I do not have a contract on this property. I am waiting for some good advice on how to proceed in accordance with eviction laws and such. He WILL NOT take cash for keys or anything. He has been living there practically free. Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thanks all in advance. -Bryan

@Joe Villeneuve thank you for the response. I was kind of thinking it may be a bit much, but I am still going to pursue it. I am thinking I may be able to get the seller to evict him.... fingers crossed.

 Sometimes, the best deals you make, are the ones you don't.

Hope, maybe, and "fingers crossed" are words that are expressed by those that are about to fail. They just don't know it yet...and failure in REI is expensive. You would be depending on future events that you have no control over. That's no investing...that's speculating...which is a wanna' be investor's term for "uneducated W.A. guess".

There are no mulligans in REI. Once you spend you money, it's lost. Once you spend your time, it's gone.

There is no deal here.  If you make one, you find out you wish you hadn't.
