It might be the property is set aside for a temporary period for a primary use buyer only.  

It's such an emotional rollercoaster - not one that I will get off until the fat lady sings but I thought some stories from BPers who thought their deals were dead - when ultimately they weren't - would help me ride out the emotional wave.Thanks in advance for sharing!

I think I any investor has an emotional and psychological component to his or her practice that is fundamental.

The owner is emotionally attached to the property and it's common for them to want more.

@Joe Gore Ive been working with the code office to ensure my tenants have temporary access to pull clothing, etc from the property.  

First, take the emotion out of your investments.

That's a really tough pill to swallow emotionally and so it makes it hard to get the house under agreement at a price that makes sense AND that leaves enough margin for the wholesaler.

It makes it tougher when you let your emotions get tied in here (in this case your sympathy towards the ill father and the true desire to help someone), but if you can't help you can't help.

Remind them they are obligated to seek your consent for any new tenants on the premises either temporary or permanent. 

A Trespass may commence adverse possession, but there must be more than temporary use of theproperty by a trespasser for adverse possession to be established.
