@Austin MoyerGlad to hear you are taking the leap of faith into real estate.

Learn how it works, keep the faith, and jump. 

In Naples there is no shortage of vac rentals, so I have faith my cpa will have some knowlege about it. 

I suggest you begin the process of acquiring all licenses necessary in order to show that you are acting in good faith and seek legal assistance with the eviction process. 

So its "as-is" and seems priced accordingly.We are in agreement on most of the terms:As is condition (built 2006, one owner).We set up and pay for all needed services: inspector, appraiser, closing attorney, etc.Price (but pending inspection and appraisal). 30CONV, 5.0% APR, escrow T&I as usual.We will, in good faith, agree that after we "own" the equity resulting from various factors (a broker friend suggested this takes 6 months for many lenders), but no more than one year from closing, we will make every reasonable effort to refi that and/or other property and so buy out the seller's interest at the refi closing.

As someone who listens to BP faithfully, this under-the-rug treatment is a little concerning. 

You must also make a good faith effort to re-let or rent any property that is vacant where lease payments are being collected.

Happy New Year BP faithful!!!

Be prepared to lose faith in yourself.

They are dealing with owners in bad faith if they take money and do not upkeep and protect the community.
