However, many sellers will not accept an offer subject to an appraisal. 

They offer a lot.

Thanks for the offer but I'm listing my property in April under the Wubbenhurst group!

It’s not for everyone, but with the right team, an agent who knows the market, a solid property manager, and good contractor connections it can be a great way to your porfolio.For example, Cleveland is affordable, has strong rental demand, and offers solid cash flow.

Ironically, I was ready to let go of multifamily and focus on more lease options, but then my team finally got an offer accepted on a 54 unit.

I wish they were offering some uses of it. 

As you know in many real estate deals, the money is made at the buy.Personally, I'm focused on off-market deals where we can create value.Curious—how did you frame your offer to get them to drop without hesitation?

I am guessing only you would be signing the 18 month lease and this individual who is there to "help" won't be voluntarily offering their signature as a co-signer?

These are done between the buyer (you) and Seller.The situation that is most common to find these properties are in a foreclosure proceeding, or pre-foreclosure.
