Where is the benefit to the end buyer here? 

A good friend of mine has a real estate related service business he wanted to scale.  

You mentioned "The only problem is that these are 6 month lends, I'm 1.5 months into this, so any work that I do now will not reap any kind of benefits until 6 months from now."

In fact, Chase and several other banks have been slapped with fines for their misconduct relating directly to those issues.

I'd look at the closing docs for something related to the pro-ration of expenses etc and see if you have anything there that could be a clause you point to for them to cover those payments. 

@William Fishergreat question thanks for posting, I was just looking around for posts that were related to this.

Hi all, I am familiarizing myself with at the Albequerque market and wondering whether any local investors can shed some perspective on overall property values relative to rents in the area.

To put a relatively extreme scenario out there, if you offer 3% more than the next guy in cash (no bank debt) and provided a copy of a brokerage account statement showing the cash was available, I am certain you would get the deal.To echo Joshua's comments: how you are planning on financing the deal is hugely contingent on being awarded deals.
