I was willing to accept the fact that the land trust has a title insurance policy in place in lieu of a lender's title policy.

Seller accepted the last, it's pending now as-is. 

For  your situation the safest is probably to just say credit score for both must be acceptable, if that is a criteria. 

However, in this case it’s worth circling back in 3 months, 6 months, or a year because this seller wants to sell, he’s just not ready to give up his fantasy deal.If the seller’s response is acceptance of the outline of my offer but countering on price or terms, it may be worth negotiating because we MAY be able to get to YES.My biggest profits have occurred when I made offers that were nowhere near what the seller was asking and yet WERE ACCEPTED, or with small modifications. 

She was asking for $20,000 but due to the horrible shape of the home I offered $12,000 and she accepted.

Some of their products have a toxic smell so you have to be wary of that, especially if you have animals around neither you nor them can be exposed to it.Meaning you might want to test paint a room and see if that solves your problem.Good Luck!

I recently gave up and accepted I wouldn't be able to get it uploaded.

Am I allowed to accept partial/full payments once eviction proceedings have started?

If you can't satisfy this 3 point test, there's significant risk associated with pursuing an STR strategy no matter how well the project underwrites today.

I can't believe that NY real estate interests are content to sit back and just accept it?
