Cash for keys can save you time if tenant accepts. 

After inspection I made my offer which was below her initial offering price and she accepted.

I don’t want to offend the guy, nor go above what he’d be willing to accept.

You also have to remember they are migratory and probably not concerned with keeping your house clean and in good repair like a family that is established in one location.I have accepted some of these in the past but I'm pretty picky.

I came across one out of thousands that staked that claim and he did actually send in a sample to be tested.

He accepted, and he actually ended up hiring me, and we still work together to this day.

Submit offers but put time and energy into situations where it's more likely to get accepted.

I’ve been very happy with my successes, and I’ve been able to accept my failures with calm and been able to limit the damage to where the few loses didn’t have a majority pact on my net worth.  

We also accept section 8 and tenants on government assistance, which can sometimes be good as it is guaranteed income, but can also be not so great as usually these type of tenants have some issues staying up on rent payments. 

IF by some miracle they accept the cash and actually do relinquish possession, you get in there as soon as possible with a reliable GC who's willing to renovate the place in January.Then you put it on the market, reaching out to just as many agents as you possibly can.
