Is the squatter some random person or where they living there at one point and stopped paying rent? 

I appreciate this may depend on where the condo is located.

This is where you may specifically want a lawyer to take action for you depending on how difficult evictions are in your state. 

Depends where this property is and condition.

For example one big row of 15 units isn't optimal but if I want to break them up I would have to have 20' between blocks, which would kill yield.Instead of waiting for them to modernize their multi-family regs (at least a year out, maybe two) or sucking it up and living with the costs as things stand, I could instead do 5 "triplexes" of single-family + 2 ADUs and bypass some restrictions (only 5' setbacks between blocks, 1 parking space per ADU unit instead of 1.75, etc.).But I'm concerned that Seattle builders may quickly move away from this strategy as HB1110 will (in Seattle and many other larger cities/counties, but not mine) soon enable sixplex townhouses in pretty much all the areas where the condo-ized ADU strategy has been mushrooming. 

Also, I do think it is possible to do a 2nd mortgage for the balance like you were talking about instead of seller financing, but we are in a unique situation where we could do seller financing and be ok with that.

Does anybody know of any grants given to property investors where you don’t have to pay back?

Is this purely a numbers situation where I may just need to increase the purchase price?

Hey Justin, where are you located?
