But other local motels make good comps.Banks saying no since its a non performing asset, plus my credit is extended.

I have only just moved back to the US and so have spent most of this year trying to build credit (before October this year I didn't have a credit score).

Now I have a base . ( and a future rental ) Then I would build my credit while looking for a nother house for me to move in , then rent the first . 

I paid the full balance over the phone yesterday with my credit card.

I don't have good credit.

Additionally, they owe you for any damages, cleaning fees, etc for move out. 

We're three partners with strong credit, net worth and income.

Straight mortgage 30 year but since I knew I wasn’t going to keep it I negotiated a higher interest rate for less money down and buyer credits at the table which saved $1000s How did you add value to the deal?

Our property had shown signs of termite damage to a structural beam during the initial inspection, and I paid for both a structural engineer (to verify the beam’s integrity was sound) and a termite inspector (to verify there was no active infestation).  

Right now I’m really focusing on fine tuning my finances, eliminating debt, improving my credit score, working on building a savings and educate educate educate.
