It’s a typical college renting arrangement, one kitchen, no locks on doors.

I just can't see the vast majority of working adults wanting to live in a permanent "sleep away" camp-style arrangement. 

I am considering "buying out" the 5 month lease on one of the units... but not sure how to go about this (would this need be an agreement with the Seller who would have to arrange this with the tenant?).

It's getting them to pay on time, dealing with their repair requests, handling disputes and lease violations, arranging lease renewals, and managing move-outs and turnover that will slowly drain your will to live.Here's the point: Every minute you spend trying to be a great PM is a minute spent NOT becoming a great investor.Ask me how I know this...

Please contact me if you have any questions or to arrange a meeting. 

I will definitely need a new house to accomodate this arrangement.

You're only required to arrange accommodation if it’s written in your lease. 

Hopefully you have strong language about getting along with others in this type of living arrangement. 

To enumerate:1) WS finds someone that doesn't know FMV of his property and offers them 60% of FMV without any CMAs2) WS doesn't tell seller he won't be the true buyer and in mice type says he can assign his contract3) WS scrupulously avoids putting $0.01 in escrow so he can walk anytime without risk4) WS uses subterfuge like dual escrows to make sure seller doesn't know the true buyer or what true buyer is actually paying5) WS isn't licensed and expects a fee/margin/skim for arranging the sale of real estate, usually not legalI guess the most galling with brokers, the higher the price the more the seller gets (and we get in commission).  

Anyone know of local mortgage brokers who can arrange financing?
