it costs more (i usually pay about $250), but it is well worth it because i get a guarantee for 6 months against any further issues and can tell the tenant if they see any more mice they can call my exterminator directly.  

If this has already been suggested, excuse me please.How about a loan, but for a guaranteed minimum amount of time.

I guarantee, it will be less than renting a comparable home!

This offer provides cash at closing with the balance of the proceeds guaranteed by State and Federal Governments.For a more detailed explanation of a 170 Exchange please review this video: (Understanding a Sect. 170 Exchange) and then pass it along to your client with the offer.

I found a listing with the following disclaimer on Hudzu:REO Occupied - the seller does not represent or guarantee occupancy status.

I guarantee this isn't a 14% cap rate property.- $401/month net...with that kind of condo fee...not possible.

Because as soon as you refi with an institution, it is going to appear on your credit score, impinging on your ability to do further deals.Some icing on the cake, depending on how well you know the couple, and how old they are - You could ask them to take out a life policy on their lives, that will cover the capital on the loans should they die - The surviving spouse is guaranteed of getting the capital back, and you will have a windfall that can be used as a nice deposit for something else.

You can also get a letter fro a VA advocate on this matter, don't know what they will say.The VA guarantees the loan, a lender must be willing to provide the loan under their usually requirements, it's not really up to VA to approve any loan they just guarantee the loan. :)PS.

The OP was contacted by them and paid 5K of his own funds to stop the sale and in the process risked his money (no guarantee that the sellers would go through the deal).

My plan was to purchase the homes in the name of my LLC through typical conventional financing, and then simply guarantee the loan under my name.
