I agree with Carl, you should remove this post and work with your attorney to obtain legal advice.

I just finished rehab on my first Cleveland property and we're waiting on the lead certificate to come back which I'm told 30-60 days. I have a rental agent in charge already established and started the rental registr...

I assume the sellers are offering seller financing since obtaining a traditional mortgage or refinancing to one after 7 years for this property is highly unlikely.

I ultimately obtained a variance to build 12 townhomes and 18 condos reliant on my hardship case and by agreeing to take responsibility for replacing the retaining wall in a re-designed terrace approach that stepped the wall back from the most immediate neighbors which was a rounding error once applied to the overall project budget.

My wife and I would remain renting in our current apartment and we could easily afford to cover the mortgage indefinitely if/when it would be vacant. 

Both of these financing can be obtained as long as you have good credit. 

Here are some very UNSCIENTIFIC conclusions I’ve drawn from empirical evidence1. 75% or more of syndications need rising property prices to obtain even a decent risk adjusted rate of return.  

Finding information this way is often faster when necessary information couldn't be obtained directly through the internet.That's the old fashion way of doing things before the internet.  

They told my attorney that they were trying to obtain “seed” capital (from me) to finance the lawsuit against their true targets.  

I believe the Deed of Trust going to the Trustee Sale is in second position and was maxed out by the owner.The other layer of complication on this deal is that the owner is actually deceased and obtained the property originally from his father when his father passed away.
