Here's what I would do:Option 1- Talk to the lender to make sure that the buyer is strong.

Depending on where the property is and the lender involved, and what he has told the lender, and so on and so on, you handle things accordingly.

Not all lenders are equal.

Are you asking for a lender for the lady selling her home?  

Lenders dont allow seller carry back and NO cash equity.. 

It may be best if you identify a property, even if it's a longshot and work with a lender to see what they would ask and how they respond.

I didn't do anything wrong to try and get $27,000 owed to me by the stupid eviction moratorium and now will have to choice but to pursue small claims court.1) I applied to San Diego Covid Rental Assistance on behalf on my tenant (appeal by tenant got rejected; not sure what the tenant did or did not do since I can't control her actions and this program only she can appeal and try to get aid, I can only start the process and try and get her to cooperate)2) I also applied to San Diego Small Landlord Rental Assistance on my own (got rejected because I no longer reside in San Diego)Both got rejected.

I don't know what they tell you in CA but here in NY we are suppose to reject any sort of income during the time of the eviction.

The investor if they slip and the lender if they need to take the house back.  

This is the max it seems most "A" lenders will loan too, I might get 50% from a credit union but that still probably not help in the short term.How do people keep going?
