Say if Fannie Mae  bought the property for 250K, what are the chances of us winning if we make an offer for 260K.

Your best bet is to call around to the different associations and see what the rules are and if you find one that has the exceptions you are looking for, choose a Realtor that belongs to that association and work something out so you can get some exposure.   

I bet it does.States and localities do not take kindly to children being put at risk, especially by landlords who tolerate tenants doing improper activities risking children, as that just shows the landlord wanted to make sure he was paid, even if that meant risking the health, safety, and welfare, of children.

If  they’re smaller than that or spread out more than that the local credit unions will be your best bet. 

I bet if you put some work into this that you'd find out they have some account deep in the balance sheet that where all the unused funds from that 7% accumulate or that was a plan. 

At the very least, I bet you learned a lot.  

I mean, a local bank might be your best bet...but which one? 

Word of mouth and attending events to network and meet people will be your best bet.

Hey Account Closed, I think your best bet is to talk with the owner directly.
