@Jimmy Lieu, thank you for the offer.

You could offer cash for keys to get her out-NEVER hand over any money until they are out and you have the keys and signed paperwork that they are out of the property. 

It's the simplest way and walks them through the entire STR process.

Quote from @John Friendas: I am trying to find the cheapest funding on a property I recently offered on. 

I know when you make an offer you typically specify how you plan on funding the deal.

Most rehab loans offer 85 to 90 percent of the purchase price and 100 percent of the renovation costs.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

It’s been pretty competitive here (partly bc we’ve gotten some BP nods over the last year) but I’ve definitely noticed a drop in offers and competition.

We offer their Customer insurance and follow the state Lien/Auction laws.d.

Can you dig into a little more on the novation, why did the seller pick that strategy say over a cash offer?
