Hi Jim,This might seem harsh but,If the females future bothers you, say a prayer for her and make a donation to your local No-Kill Shelter for Animals--She's an adult and can fend for herself--and you have a business to run.It's best to not get interpersonal with the renters--they ALL have some problem or another--they are Adults and will have to sort them out for themselves.

Here is what I do when I am working on an off-market deal when a Seller's Agent is involved:I lay out my Terms...if Seller is agreeable, then the Seller's Agent can type everything up in the Offer to Purchase Contract (since they are getting paid and I'm not).Here is an example of my Terms:Terms:Purchase Price: [$-amount]Closing: [Date]Rent: FREE from time of Settlement through [30-90 day window].Attorney’s Closing Costs: Buyer will pay up to $1,000 in Seller’s Attorney’s Fees (not to include prorated property taxes)Removal of Debris & Trash: Seller can leave whatever they do not wish to keep, and Buyer will discard or donate FREE of chargeI hope this helps!
