Enough homeowners suffer a fraud where they quit-claim their properties over to an individual for a "loan modification program" or a rent-to-own type deal that the judges become very cautions, and the rest of us honest participants suffer.

I’m sure this has been covered before.

Take them to court for any additional costs not covered by the deposit and for the lease break if you are owed money. 

The rental has tremendous equity (as was our primary prior to being a rental) though if I pull it all out, the rent income from that property alone would not cover.

I know there isn’t a cookie cutter way of putting together these deals, but looking to cover some of the steps and how they should be approached.  

Do you really think $31.25 per unit/month is going to cover that?  

The 15 to 20 percent of the purchase the lender isn't covering.

I would just deny without a reason, the less information you give the less you have to cover your ***! 

@Tyler Jahnke I agree with Chris that a partial may be a good choice for you but make sure you keep enough in reserve to cover any vacant and/or sudden repairs that come up.

The inspection failed first time because of a vent that wasn’t covered, a couple of non-grounded outlets, and some chipped paint.
