I generally try to do a cash for keys DIL, record, and later foreclose if I need to remove tax liens to reconvey title (to a new buyer) b/c they can't pay to clear up the liens.For Oscar's question it is my personal opinion that if the Realtor isn't doing his/her job you are perfectly justified in approaching the seller about alternative arrangements.

Then you can tie the property up with an offer.An alternative is to tie the property up with an offer now subject to inspection.

WIthout knowing what your alternative investment might be, it's impossible to look at this from an analytical view point or in financial investing terms.

As an alternative to actually denying the tenant, you can use the "5 Minute Rule" to your advantage.

Last thing, if your land is a real deal and still need another alternative for cash....consider MEZZANINE or BRIDGE financing.

Basically, I'm looking for suggestions from the BP Action-Takers...so I can get a couple alternatives to closing the deal.A member responded to me directly and mentioned I should go around the seller and just buy the NOTE.

That's only one alternative.

Otherwise, nothing is worth the alternatives.

The alternative is to use hard money, private money, etc., and buy it yourself for 40k, lease it to the buyer for 90 days, and close after that... then you could resell for 75k or whatever without the 20% concerns.Nick
