I got one or two text replies from him, but no phone call or bid.

My thought is that the sellers (currently estate managers as owners have passed) would be motivated to move quickly if we take the tenant problem off their hands.Now, this probably raises lots of red flags, potentially even prompts some laughter at what a terrible it is, which is why I'm here asking!

Thanks for all the thoughts everyone...we're motivated to find a way for this to work, so keep any ideas or concerns you have coming! 

The seller is motivated and willing to lower the purchase price to get the deal completed quickly.

Hello @Michael Mendez,We use social media to market OHs but this has not yet proven itself to be effective... this could just take increased ad spend and consistency to be effective but time will tell.Our best OH marketing results come from reaching out to active Realtors in the area i.e. text/email blasts, phone calls.

To rational people it seems like these would be highly motivated sellers but they arent.

@Joel CalkinsHey Joel, I will for sure be giving you a text or call very soon!

This morning I received a text from said tenant that they will have my money and be moved out by this weekend.

There shouldn't be a single able-bodied adult on unemployment right now, but there are because they aren't suffering enough to motivate them to get back to work.
