I suppose the difference will mean that you miss the opportunity to buy.

I supposed you could research and research, and follow all of the tranches of previous holders until you get to the end of the rabbit hole but, even if you find out, no one is going to talk to you about it.

One of the contractors turned around and called the seller and offered more than I did (shame on me for sharing purchase price I suppose).

How do you suppose folks get a mortgage loan for investment properties?

In my experience, only good tenants leave politely and when they're supposed to, so if you're expecting the current tenants to not put up a fight if they don't pass your screening, you might want to think about saving the money and time required to re-rent and just have them sign a new month-to-month lease in September or October (depending on the lease notice requirements). 

If they complain that they don't make enough then give them a raise and make it a permanent full time position, 40 hrs a week, where they punch in and out with a time clock and we the people whom they are supposed to be serving can keep them accountable.
