@Nicholas Smith You can put right into the contract that there are no disputes or late or owed rent with the current tenant however that is just to help you. 

I already belong to an apartment association, but sometimes I feel inadequate because of the knowledge gap in certain areas such as tenant problem resolution, and mediation as well as navigating the do's and don'ts in our wonderful landlord-unfriendly state.

What I determined from listening and reading is that it is crucial to explain the process to the seller that makes it simple to understand, benefits to them, resolution of their problem, how they are protected, and reasons why it would not be in the buyer's (you) best interest to default on them.

This is why I'm hoping for amicable resolution in the very near future.

Many tenant disputes can be avoided by just treating people better.

A good Ocala property manager is also a fellow BP member, Clay Lehman of Resolute Property Management.

If I have to deal with the owner of that old junk(eye soring) car head on, I have no problem with it, but I prefer a more peaceful resolution to this issue.

I messaged Airbnb and they advised to contact resolution center. 

There was never going to be an acceptable resolution unless I took back some power by hiring an attorney to draft a 200-word letter.

This deal CAN still be done, but the owner in FL has to step forward and work out a resolution with the IRS, which can certainly be done, and, depending on the owner's other circumstances, the resolution may be quite favorable to the owner.
