I am trying to cash out refi a property and have narrowed my lenders down to 2.

This is my fist deal, as per recommendation of my studies I'm doing this cash and I will refi when I'm done.

He's right that there is always an option to effectuate a cash for keys (aka buyout negotiation). 

15 years of investing in class B single family in Milwaukee with a medium size portfolio: 1 eviction and 3 cash for keys.I am on the board of the RPA Rental Property Association of Wisconsin and 2%-3% sounds about right to me for class C and D portfolios based on what I hear from our members.A good MF portfolio should have under 30% turnover rate, with SF you can get under 20%. 8% eviction seems very high in that context. 

The seller can provide all the documentation in the world, but you really have no clue if they are making it up or not.The best signal I've been able to get regarding whether or not an inherited tenant is "good" or not is how well kept they keep the house.

Sounds good, will send you some feedback on a couple reverse 1031 exchange providers that our customers work with. 

More trouble than its worth unless you partner with an operator that specializes in it and can provide the expertise, nursing contacts, etc.

This probably provides an adequate level of protection for Freddie.It’s a concept that is hard to swallow.

They definitely can provide you with hig quality VAs.
