I think that might be the more plausible value play.

@Jane KimWow, everyone is really encouraging aggressive plays here.Assuming this is your first purchase, I would wait until you close, move in, and start getting rental income from the hack before doing anything else...

If they reject the offer, then I would play hard ball by enforcing every term of the lease and ensuring they participate in showings or face termination.

If you do go that route, be careful not to hold yourself out as the GP, or at least clearly explain the roll you played because there are quite a few GP's in hot water right now who at the minimum were intentionally vague about their roles creating the perception they have a track record that doesn't align with reality.

I have played the 0% balance transfer game for some larger inventory purchases in my retail biz and good old 0% balance promos at Home Depot (personal) and Sears have financed quite a few apartment renos too.With a long and stellar credit history It doesn't seem to impact my FICO4 & 8 too much but it will *crush* the vantage 3 score which penalizes HEAVILY those who actually USE their credit and I'm talking still less than 30% of available.

So for those playing at home, it's now been 8 days since the submission of the draw inspector'sThe whole process just seemed a little bush league to me.

If you provide a little more guidance on what asset class you are trying to play in, happy to point you in the right direction. 

This does cause some concern, please respond back when you rectify the situation as I am very curious how this situation plays out.

If he has the reserves for minor repairs and vacancy, I think its a good equity play. 

that may also play a role in your decision.
