Yeah, you don't want to try to house hack in LA based on the price points out there vs. what you can get most likely.

I’m also based here and have experience with short-term rentals, property management, and work with investors like yourself.

I am based in NOLA and have a great property manager.

To ensure you’re acting ethically:Full Transparency: Be upfront about your intentions and ensure the organization has all the information it needs to make an informed decision.Fair Value: Offer a price based on fair market value or justify any discount with clear benefits (e.g., taking on deferred maintenance or providing a quick, hassle-free transaction).Win-Win Mindset: Emphasize how the sale could help the organization, such as freeing up funds for its mission or relieving the burden of maintaining a distressed property.4.

There are two options I have offered and I want to get a check on here if I am off base with my offer or if I need to push harder.

However, this is not specific legal advice to you, just an opinion based on the circumstances described.  

It's called a payoff statementif it's a big lender you will not buy the loan as it will take forever, you are better just paying it off. you then can foreclose based on the total balance owed to you which is both loans and any accrued interest. regarding fixing property or selling as is, that really depends and needs to be evaluated on a case by case basis
