So don't get pulled into the why or the drama.

@Dion DePaoliThanks for the harsh reality check.  

We obviously don't know each other, and I'm not trying to come across harsh in any way.

It doesn't make sense for me to deal with the drama of a retail sale/listing for the $ reward. 

It may sound like @Deanna McCormick is being unnecessarily harsh to a soon to be former tenant, but there are reasons to have those types of policies.

They deal with hundreds of 18 year old kids and all their drama all day, they just kick the can down the road until they get to a real command.I'm prior military and don't excuse his actions, but maybe it will help you let this one go. 

Sorry for the harshness, but they are deep in that hole, and it takes BIG changes to get out.

Assuming you are financing this property, you probably cannot borrow at 3.6% or less, which would mean that the return on your invested capital would be less than that (possibly negative)Unless you know something hidden, like they just struck oil nearby and you have the mineral rights, (not trying to be harsh here....but) this deal seems purely speculative.  

In this case, the lender dropping the ball means you're (probably) stuck in some crummy hard money loan AND your nephew will not get to own the home he has been living in AND there would be ugly family drama. 

They have to see that these buyers have the potential to be good tenants who will pay on time and not cause drama.
