There's a post right above mine from a lender... there's always a lender offering $$$ even when people can't afford it. 

The lenders that offer the 203k renovation loan are telling me that DPA cannot be used with it and this is in Ohio.

You may just get one offer even on a really nice house with good pricing on the property.

But there are a few ways to shake things up:Cash for Keys: Offer them money to move out.

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Finding a move-in-ready home that offers modern upgrades and country charm can be challenging—but this fully renovated 4-5 bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch is the perfect solution.

I offered to break the lease but tenant did not take it. 

It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.

one of my clients that has a pretty big PM company.. had a unique way of doing this.He offered 50% of the first months rent or 500.00 minimum.. he would have 4 or 5 agents at the weekly meeting handout the list of vacants .. each of them would go place a sign in the yard and first come first served.. he found that potential tenants would call the first sign if no answer they called the next one until finally someone answered.. it worked pretty awesome for him. 

I never put my time into finding buyers unless I had something to offer.

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.
