I think all these comments saying “no” are mind blowing, I understand the cost of testing a house for meth is pricey, but if your a landlord one of jobs is to make sure the property is clean and safe for the next tenant, so when there is ANY reason whatsoever to believe there was a meth lab, meth smoked in one of your rentals and believing “tell the tenants no, I won’t test for meth, we can just end the lease and you can find somewhere else to live” is absurd.

But many others, especially traditional layouts that need updates, even easy, cosmetic ones that have dark paint, old carpet, appliances, etc., are just sitting, so you won't have as much competition there but may have to take some time to update.

Be ready to pay off the loan, end buyer refi (the reason for a wrap is not always bad credit), sell property, deed back and do a lease purchase option for a while (depending on what state you are in), whatever needed.The banks are not gods - they are just entities that do not care much for their customers due to being too big.Stay safe out there kids this all works if everyone pulls in the same direction and as you note have ability to cure and refi etc. where it goes wonky is when the wrap buyer squats and the sub to buyer has no real means or is out of the deal and also goes dark.. the original seller gets fubared.
