Pretty small amount of work for a guaranteed buy.

Would aim for 70% NOO loan from conventional lender in first position at 30 year fixed note and then source second lien private for 15 years, 8-10% IO loan and small guaranteed piece of the upside if spike in equity and you ever sell.

They have paperwork entitled "Escrow Agreement for Postponed Improvements" to guarantee they will return money after closing that I can have for reserves in my operating account.

Having them not pay is no guarantee it will protect your unit from further damage, especially if they are already upset/ resentful about having to vacate.

Research and understanding will be very important in order for someone to guarantee progress during this time.

Being with a well known company does not hurt either but, it is not a guarantee of success. 

It takes a lot of work and still no guarantees that it’s going to close on time on closing table.

I have no problem getting financing, provided I put up 15-20% of the LTV in cash or assets and I also personally guarantee the loans.

If they need to replace something in its entirety, guaranteed they will want to bring in another contractor for a second opinion.

In which case you are guaranteed that the tenants will abuse it.
