I would also ask them about cash for keys since I would initially offer the tenant this. 

Why is the seller offering Creative Finance14.

They look to have some success with taking deals full-cycle and currently have a sun belt multi-property offering that I'm researching.

@Andrae S Wiggins recommend you upgrade your BP membership to Pro to access the BP Calculators to evaluate rental purchases.Play with the numbers to figure out the purchase price that gives you your target ROI.That's the number you'll need to make an offer at, NOT what the seller is asking.Yes, you will get a lot of rejects, but whoever said investing was easy?

It will depend alot on the number of beds offered and the size of the home overall; do you have enough indoor and outdoor seating for 9 guests?  

We stay in contact with this agent and I guess she made a couple of verbal offers for us after the agreement had expired. 

Quote from @Logan Barwick: I Am looking at getting involved in rental properties and debating on which option would be best.

But the ‘investors’ funding letter in black & white says ‘this offer is considered cash’ & it’s signed by Nick Raimondi of Insula Capital Group, a private lender for Real Estate Investments.

If the issue continues, consider offering a formal payment plan or seeking legal advice.

Seems like you're in a good spot with lots of options.
