By simple controlling properties way below market value and assigning or selling your contract or position to a cash buyer for a fee.

Unless they write into the provision of the loan they have some control (and if they want to do that, turn around and run), you can do whatever you want.Depending on if and how much you rent it, determines a whole bunch of tax situations and you should consult your CPA on that.

My recommendation is to get a professional pest control company to do an assessment.

However, the sellers agent will want to control the deal, use their non assignable contacts, require a large EMD, POF and always try to drive the price up on your low offer aka (Realtors Rules).
