If the record says he was evicted, there's probably a reason and you should move away from the drama.

Also, as a wholesaler, I would assume you'd like to get your fee, which can only happen if the deal closes, which at this point, looks doubtful given the buyer is trying to do something they won't be able to do, and you are not ensuring the smooth closing of this transaction at all by educating the parties and moving this process forward.I'm not trying to be overly harsh, but you need to get back involved pronto and either right this ship, or cancel the contract and release the seller so they can move on with their lives.

I'm still fairly new to the RE game, so critique as harshly as needed!

Very smart and it seems to be working.I'd be happy to see them in person, since these generalizations may be too harsh versus the actual situation on the ground.

(sorry, not meant to offend).I know a lot of the comments, mine included, can seem harsh.  

I'm not trying to be harsh, but what you've said:  "The owner of the home is incapacitated" and "I'm broke and I have bills to pay what is my quickest and safest way to money here?"

Not to be harsh, but I think the first step is to take care of your judgement.

I heard storage has less tax deduction and highly competitive since it is easy to build but I suppose you also don't have to deal with tenants drama?

Already there is drama! 

. : )There are also plenty of C- areas (or worse), where you can spend just as much for the same rent, or maybe even a little more, for a bigger house, with more bedrooms (and more occupants, and more wear-and-tear), but there is a higher level of drama that comes with these neighborhoods.
