Primarily because even though the reason for eviction would have presumably fallen outside the local Covid protections, the law is largely untested and the courts might construe it very liberally in favor of the squatting tenant all things considered. 

There would likely be hoops to jump through to get it re-zoned but in theory, if it was zoned 4-family residential, that would unlock more favorable loan products and actually might make resale down the line easier.Just thinking about what I would do with this deal if it was presented to me.

I expect our market will continue to appreciate through the summer as well so delaying is in my favor in that aspect.

You could perhaps try and fix that problem and offer some kind of a cash for keys option (less than your first offer) and also pay for a full service moving company to solve their problem of packing stuff and also moving it to their new location.I hope something works out in your favor on this one, sounds frustrating to say the least!

Because this is an out of state purchase, the odds are in favor of me using an agent; but not 100%. 

Meaning, you got as much green out of the investment as possibleWhen scoping out a deal, you don’t want to assume that you will be able to sell off your investment at a more favorable cap rate.

I am not in favor of that, I don't just roll over, just because someone is pushing. 

I guess what I’m saying is even though I will still have income, I’m not gonna be able to do myself a lot of favors when it comes to loans at the moment since I don’t have a really high paying job.

The #’s will be a little more in my favor.

They had locked in the interest rate both times and offered me the loan both times, but then both times they came up with reasons that forced me to "agree" to raising it and acted like they were doing me a favor.
