Feel free to connect with me for advice, propositions or just to say Hello! 

I have read a lot of stories about tenant horror stories and honestly becoming a landlord sounds like a terrifying proposition.

If you close and don't want to own long term what would be the most cost effective way to recover as much of the "lost" EMD (or more succinctly which way would put more money back into your collective pockets) fighting the seller in court which may be a losing proposition from the start or closing and then either doing what you were going to do to it and then selling, or simply closing and turning right around and putting it back on the market for sale.When it comes to money there is no pride.

That is an interesting proposition.  

Since I'm not trying to cover the cost of a mortgage, this seems like a simply proposition. 

Perhaps if people are motivated to sell a property and like my value proposition, I will be contacted either way?

(he can since he has no skin in the game)  You are dead in the water without the proper protection.This can be a profitable proposition, or a very dangerous one.  

I think a lot of people find that proposition more appealing than a true passive investment.  

Owner occ financing for duplexes makes that a really interesting proposition.  

That said it needs to convey all the legal requirements of course but beyond that you need to come up with a unique selling proposition.
