However, we have a rehab loan thatis exclusive to us where we will lend you up to 80% of the completed value.Meaning, if you find a house for sale for $30k, but the appraiser says whenyou do the repairs you say you are going to do the house is going to beworth $80k, we will give you up to 80% of the $80k...which would be$64k...if you needed that much to do repairs onNow there are stipulations to that.

I'll present the offer as cash, but I'll put in the stipulations that I have the right to switch to financing without a financing contingency.If the listing agent and the seller don't say anything, I'll often switch to financing (I close with my own attorney, so the seller's closing attorney probably won't even know).

Responsibility for closing costs depends on what is stipulated and agreed upon in the contract.

If you don't have the rehab cash, perhaps you can get a private loan for it, otherwise you may try and ask seller to give you a note for $19k+, have the purchase price be $19k, & stipulate that seller is to give buyer $3k for deferred maintenance.

Ask them to show you in the original lease where any of those charges are stipulated.  

The way I'll try to get the escrow switched is to just submit an addendum stipulating a new closer and title company with the RPA. 

There must be some odd stipulations as to the continued relationship as to why he was given control, and how you got back control after a  few years.
