Finally… do not assume that “Your” real estate agent is working for your best interest… unless… BOTH of the following are satisfied… 1) the agent Signs a “Buyers Agent” contract where it is stated that YOUR interests comes firstAND… 2) the agent / your buyers agent has no affiliation with any other party nor has any financial interest in this transaction other than as stated in the docs… and has no association with any party in the transaction… other than as stated in the disc… you explain up front that any all buying agreements are not binding until after you have AT LEAST a Preliminary Good Faith Estimate/ HUD1/  enhanced financial disclosure… and that ALL parties/ entities and all fees are clearly disclosed.

You could offer cash for keys to get her out-NEVER hand over any money until they are out and you have the keys and signed paperwork that they are out of the property.

Quote from @Justin Buswell: Quote from @Sharron Ferrell: I am also considering signing up for the program.

Avoid PMI and then go to a local credit union and get a heloc after closing to gift the money back.Have this as a tool in your tool belt but pursue use of the 3.5% FHA, knowing that you will be at a competitive disadvantage if you are competing with non FHA buyers, then you can call in the favor from your gift person.Just know that if someone gifts you down payment money, your bank will require them to sign a letter stating that it is in fact a gift that doesn’t need to be paid back.

Quote from @Tod DuBois: Another Furnished Finder POT cancelled on me after I went out of my way and paid to review them on Key Check and signed up for Key Check contracts, made two contracts, allowed a pet and still, two days before the check-in, they did not sign.

An agreement would be signed, and the property would be sold in 5 years and proceeds split up appropriately.

If you have IRA with Checkbook control then as LLC manager you would be able to sign the contract.
