If they just wanted to relieve themselves of the management they could pay a PM 10% of the gross rents for $380/month and come out way ahead.There are a couple routes that I personally would go which is either buy it outright and negotiate a better price, have the seller participate in the financing by wrapping the original note (uphill battle but could work) and giving an all inclusive Trust Deed to the seller, or go the MLO route at the price they want with a 10 year window with option consideration enough to cover the agent’s commission.

I guaranty if you were to battle anther realtor with a borrower/ buyer who was to do as I described above, 7 out of 10 times you would lose down here in FL  with that outdated strategy of "Poor Mouthing the Offer" with ridiculous Good Faith Deposit amount in escrow.If I were selling a 500k home, and an a buyer hit me with a 5k deposit, their offer would be out like the fat kid in 5th grade dodge ball!

This one was a battle...

She sounds like she wants advice on what to do but we don’t want to get into the middle of some battle that’s not our problem.

My momma always said she's sometimes you got to pick and choose your battles.

If you do not get them out then don't waste your money on a fence...that will start a battle  you can not win.

However there is only 10 days or so left and I'm trying to mitigate risk and not start a legal battle if all will just be well at the 30 day mark.My question pertains to the back tenant and the deposit i already have on hand from the sellers and if i can use it to pay the back tenant deposit back.... they haven't responded yet but i asked the renter if they used their deposit for last months rent from previous owner...

This has been our dream for the past four years and as we start this journey together I realized there are so many unforeseen battles that will rage on and beat you down on flips, especially when you tackle vacant homes and decide to bring them back to life!

But making the plan is only half the battle.
