Have a way to double checking their information they give you on the application.  

I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

You came to the right place for information, Samuel! 

Unfortunately BP search for people is less than desirable so had to make a post to try and find people.If you are in the area, love to connect as we have a lot of opportunities (portfolio of assets) that just came our way.

I’ve been part of the BiggerPockets community for a while, but this is my first post.

Hi Ella, welcome aboard,Your post about your real estate ambitions, encompassing the purchase, renovation, and sale of properties, as well as the ownership of Airbnb rentals, is indeed an exciting endeavor.

It sounds like the Title Co. was not aware that the tenant prepaid rent and just prorated the current rent for the month of closing, so agree if they had no knowledge of it, would not have ever gone on the settlement statement as a credit to the buyer and they likely will not do anything post closing to help obtain those funds. 

Would love to hear any experiences with this type of strategy if you do a search in the group, you will find a lot of information.

If another veteran assumes the loan then their entitlement will replace the sellers, and the sellers entitlement can be restored to full.Great post!

I've tried to include relative information, without writing a novel.
