Since the deal is so nice, it was relatively easy to convince them to contribute for a return.

Together we uncover most of the surprises.

I had to put the question out there as I wasn't sure if something existed that I haven't uncovered yet which would be the solution I needed. 

I have heard of rent to own, does that ever work on older, not so nice park owned homes?

@Jo-Ann Lapin that’s so nice of you.

Getting repairs done that were uncovered during the last buyer inspection.

Prior to the banking changes, a variety of techniques such as use of credit reports, information subpoenas and pretext calling were used to uncover bank account information.

The plan is to rehab, fill with tenants and sell as turnkeys to local investors (there's plenty of them in this particular market).As I don't have a large JV network and since the acquisition cost is relatively high (low six figures), I'm having a hard time finding a JV to fund the deal, which is frustrating since the opportunity is so nice and there are many plausible exits (or holds for that matter). 

If you can uncover that reason and incorporate it into your offer, you're showing them far more value than just your offer price.

All inspections will uncover problems, especially in a 60 year old house.
