@Chad Swinford we are in a very similar situation.

Is the warranty something I should find comforting in this situation?

It would be great to pick it up at a discounted price.I was wondering if anyone has ever been in a situation like this, and either A) tried contacting the owner (company) direct to see if they are motivated to sell much cheaper or B) working through a realtor just make a much lower offer?

At this point, we want to move out the tenant and providing generous move out package - one month hotel stay, one month rent back, hold fee for next apartment etc, but the tenant is not -cooperating and also blackmailing us based on situation.

For that reason in a situation where a tenant is below market my advice would be to give them fair warning you will be putting them to full market rent.

Also, if anyone knows about the student housing situation there, I’d appreciate any help.

I’ve found better quality hoods, fans, and lighting fixtures cheaper than the big stores or than my contractor can find them.

As far a books on management go, check out Brandon Turner's book on managing properties which you can find here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/managing-properties-digital as well as the Landlord Survival Guide by Jeffrey Taylor

Well, our situation facilitates a few potential investment opportunities.
