If you're uncomfortable with what you're saying it will show and throw off your whole game.

But she is uncomfortable, and wants him gone.

If a buyer is uncomfortable in simply agreeing they won't do an end run around you, then what else will they do that's not in your best interest.

She has also offered to establish a insurance policy, but again I am uncomfortable with this as the beneficiary can be changed quickly and easily.So I am interested to see what everyone thinks about as far as going with the trust, establishing a 2nd lien (this way I will be a secured creditor), purchasing the home outright and leasing it back to her or something else.Thanks in advance for reading and your advice!

Out of those you have to pay a bunch of expenses - taxes, insurance, routine maintenance (much caused by the tenants), property management, major capital items (roofs, furnaces), vacancy, utilites (at least when vacant), CPA fees, legal fees, lost rent during evictions, major tenant damage, etc., etc., etc.

I reassessed the house with my contractor about what we need and how much it would cost, I’m not comfortable with the wiggle room of only 20,000 and the Inspector’s baulk, along with the house offer of 80,000, feel uncomfortable.

They now want to relocate because they feel uncomfortable.

Don't ask stupid questions but maybe ask if any of the buyers present routinely sell to other investors or do theyalways list on the MLS if they sell immediately--that way they know you're not competition because you do not have cash and/or are afraid of possible title issues.  

My work takes me across the whole state routinely so I would look at investments anywhere in NM.

A manager absolutely, positively, under no circumstances, can appear to be less able to deal with hot/cold/uncomfortable than the people he's managing.
