Thanks, I definitely wanted to try cash for keys, our property manager told us it’s illegal, I’m not sure what his deal is or if he has a hidden agenda...do we have to do it in an official capacity like have the offer served to them or can we try to text them again with the offer or notice posted on the door?

Then it can go up from there as you want to create stronger language for any nuances that need covered in your deal.Find a local RE attorney and ask.  

You stop at the international border and have the Mexican official stamp the visa.

That way, there's no connection, no formal/visible credits, but if the buyer actually exercises the option, they get credit for the O.C. because of the reduced price.Having the exact language saying it’s not an installment sale or land contract could help maybe.
