Perhaps you take the deal to a larger player and get a referral fee

It seems like a hidden gem of a town to me, considering that it’s so close to Holiday Valley and Holimont Ski Resorts.

As long as you include a 'due diligence' clause saying you can cancel the contract at the end of that period you should be covered.Not sure why you are even worried about who pays what closing cost if you're in a hot market and are a serious player.

Strange as it sounds - $1 Million doesn't really make you a Real Player in the Apartment arena in most situations.It could fit you into a number of Duplex - Fourplex projects!  

One or two players left after the shakeout and it will be the wholesale model.  

Also, try to find some players in your market and see if you can follow them around, answer phones, or do some work for them for free.

Your last conversation should be pay or leave..Your last resort will be to offer cash for keys..

As a last resort, I'd consider pulling the money out of my business and investing it in other investments.  

I am a licensed real estate agent and have sold commercial, resort (Pacific Islands), residential and investment property. 

SBA loans are no dischargeable in BK situations.. use them as last resort..just brian storming but maybe you find some retired person that will just show the units and open themI don't think they need a license for that.. its not like a PM job.. and you pay them a spiff.rent comes to you obviously.. but I would think you will need some interaction..
