@Tim Gordon I am in the military stationed in Kuwait, I make about $160k a year tax-free since the higher powers consider this a combat zone. 

Seems fraudulent

Coercing the homeowner to sell to you with fraudulent intent may be something wrong but that would apply whether it was in foreclosure or not.

It is much better to have a positive relationship with a tenant vs a destructive one.In the long run, it is likely worth it to get rid of them if they continue to be combative, pay rent late, not sign a new agreement with you, or what not. 

Lawyers will have a field day with it...discrimination etc etc.Same reason as calling a previous employer about a former employee....they are basically stuck with " I would/would not hire them again" and that's about all they can say without getting sued...and most wont go past "yes they used to work here form date X to date YBest way to combat issues with bad tenant is to screen them aggressively..... especially call their last 2-3 landlords and actually talk to them.

I have PTSD from combat but I'm built like an athlete so everywhere I go someone calls bs. 

Much appreciate all the input from everyone, I'm certainly not trying to do anything fraudulent or immoral, just trying to make sure I leverage myself as best as possible with what assets I have.

These guys are giving me fraudulent numbers and lying about payouts on their Excel doc.

Have them discuss it with their seller and have the seller involved with helping you get the home sold.If they don't agree or combat you on this, move on. 

@Todd Powell - South Florida may be ground zero for fraudulent service animal tags.
