So make sure the security deposit is fat enough to cover it.

If your tenant is avoiding you and your PM and is non-communicative with the two of you, fat chance they will amicably communicate with the neighbor who notified you and your PM about what is going on.

And in excess of 250 million in all other avenues over a 40 plus year career.. but like most lenders we got kicked in the Teeth in 08 and 09 I had just under 500 of these on the books and ended up owning a little over 200 of them and losing many millions of dollars in the process... so the thought that rentals will save the day in a down turn is just not true.. they can in the right spots... but it takes a lot of work to stay on top of them. and thankfully we were not in Vegas or FLA or AZ other wise I probably would be dead right now.

I don't know how fat this deal is but perhaps you could reduce your risk by controlling certain aspects of of this transaction, i, e., final closing doesn't occur until you've got possession.I much favor buying the note as others have suggested but monetizing a note is a lot different than buying a short-sale house with a prospective holdover problem.
