With police reports and tickets from police you have evidence from disinterested 3rd party as to the lease violation as opposed to a complaint from a neighbor that nobody can verify.

You'll need to negotiate terms that work for both parties, including the purchase price, interest rate, and repayment schedule.

Do they do internal appraisals or have a 3rd party do it? 

The reason U dont want it to go in as EM is it takes all parties to sign off to return your money.. if the wholesaler cant perform and pisses off the seller the seller may just bow their back up and not sign the cancellation and release..

If the title company has a long term escrow department better chance they would be willing to work with you as they could facilitate payments after closing as well if the parties wanted that.If taking time to find that one asky why the ones you have used don't want to touch the deal is there something wrong with the deal you aren't seeing, or they just don't want to do it.Best of luck!

if so, this had high risk written all over it for all parties, as in todays market it is very rare to find properties that will produce positive cash flow with 100% leverage.  

My question: Is there anyone you would recommend (preferably in the boroughs) that can help advise me on how to structure this deal that's fair to all parties and compensates me for the risk I'm taking? 

if you did want to claim it, it would be better to revise the closing and get it included - then you are totally legal.Just realize your actions impact the other party as well.  

I could imagine it getting very tricky with a 3rd party management company and have not heard of a company doing it.

If you're buying in your town, the down side is you may have to manage yourself, may be difficult find 3rd party management.Good LuckGino
