They will only win in court if they have proof that they paid the last two months of rent in advance.

It might be frustrating, but both these companies have probably seen plenty of success and plenty of failure too and they want to see you win.Now with that said there are plenty of wholesalers in DFW that don't care if you win or not. 

In general It sounds like a low enough LTV that it could even qualify for an instant issue and AVM (no apprisal.)

So I started trying to get creative on how to create a win-win-win for all.Here’s how it went down:I got the sellers to agree to an asking price of $180k, a full $40k over what they originally wanted.In the offer, we included a seller credit of $34k.This strategy allowed me to cover the extra commission for both the buying and selling agents and ensure the seller got exactly the cash they wanted should they have sold it at 140k.With the seller credit, this reduced my total out-of-pocket expense to just $6k.I used a commercial DSCR loan product with a local bank.

You get to charge the one tenant above-market rent (in exchange for them being allowed to sublet), the lender gets the one single lease that they know how to understand, everyone wins.

What are some wins you had for Q1? 

You can also consider selling and reinvesting your winnings then you never have to worry about the cost basis of your investment.

That lawsuit would cost more than the building, if you lose, and if you win you will still be out a lot of money; and way more stress than the batteries.

And it could cost many, many thousands of dollars in legal to eventually win or lose.

I highly recommend local meetups, as you can meet other investors who have already gone through the wins and losses.
