Hi, I'm new to these forums and was wondering about my first tenant eviction.Background: I don't own the property, but my aging parents (owners) want help managing it. 

I found a property wherein the owner died 2 years ago with no will.

Instead it is listed as personal property and may have an owner completely different than the owner of the land.

The original note owner also had a schedule C for the remaining payments they would have at the end.

Yes sometimes it was messy but usually between the choice of 1 or 2 apartments a new person would get the idea that yes it was floor plan they were considering and were able to overlook the sometimes messy aspects.I did run across an occasional unit that was not able to be shown until vacated, due to terrible housekeeping but this was rare, and my owner knew then that I would have a vacancy until turned and ready to show.  

So as an investor, am I able to negotiate down the 2nd with that lender, before I purchase the property directly from the owner?
