You can always ask them to get it for you or have them sign a form to release the info to you.I always have it for prospective tenants when renting an apartment.

This gives you an interest in the property.If your buyer is getting traditional financing, then execute a new PSA between the Seller and the Buyer at the new price that includes your profit, and add a stipulation that you will be paid $xx dollars (the difference in the two contracts) at closing to release your interest in the property.The bank will have no problem with this, and you are not committing fraud as what you are doing in actuality matches what you are documenting.

Then, what type of BK, and is it discharged/property releases.

The Mortgage Loan is being made by a Local Bank who is willing to give a release per residence for 120% of the pro-rate Loan Amount per Resident"

@Ryan M.According to stats just released today by Realtors, 35% of all sales are cash sales.

Purchaser agrees that if the sale is not closed because of Purchaser’s inability, failure or refusal to perform any of the Purchaser’s obligations herein, Purchaser shall forthwith pay Brokers the full commission immediately, provided that Brokers may first apply up to one-half (1/2) of the Earnest Money toward payment of the Commission and shall pay the balance thereof to Seller as liquidated damages of Seller, if Seller claims such balance as Seller’s liquidated damagers in full settlement of any claim for damages against Purchaser, whereupon Brokers shall be released from any and all liability for return of Earnest Money to Purchaser.

If you do get some kind of blanket loan, be sure to have a release value for each property in the event in the future you wish or need to sell something.

You aren't looking for a friend; you are trying to close a profitable deal for yourself while the seller is being released of property they desire to rid themselves of for various reasons. 

Discuss lien releases with them.

Once you relet the property, your present tenant will be released from their obligations.The security deposit is not returned to the Tenant until the end of the tenancy  - which, in this case, will be when you re-let the apartment - and then, any deductions for damages, cleaning, utilities, rent arrears, etc. are deducted first.In this situation, I would tell the tenants we will work with them to relet the apartment promptly, but the chances of finding and vetting a qualified tenant in time for July 01, are slim.
