Assuming we can front the cash, is it typical to then refinance the property after it's been seasoned (presuming no pre-payment penalty)?

Your seller presumably expects his $340k mortgage(s) to be paid off at settlement -- and he rightfully should.

Presumably you would be able to double your rents by doubling your leased space?

If they are just trying to get rid of the property then I presume it would be had to compete with an all cash buyer.

We use the standard contract, I personally think that it is worthwhile to have a contract that both the realtors are familiar with and I would presume that it would have the most impartial terms.If someone sent me a non standard contract, I would counter on standard paper so I didnt have to figure out how the other party was being advantaged with their contract.But that is just me.

They would presumably offer lower than I.

However, I can't help but wonder if they are slightly biased towards more expensive (stable) properties, since they are presumably less maintainance (ie a $150K SFR in Plano, TX vs $45K in Irving, TX).

If I don't play nice and pay up then they won't be sending me any more deals...I would presume that realtors, like appraisers come across a lot more investment (flip worthy) properties then I do by virtue of their profession....I want to be able to email them to open I dialogue to get them on board w/ me.  

I presume Idaho because of your location but plenty of people buy in multiple states.If the six( 6) month statute applies in your jurisdiction, your challenge is that you don't have an owner or estate rep with standing to provide you what you need to eliminate the right of redemption. 

Your answer presumably is….I WANNA ROOOCK!
