Unfortunately they have already begun selling off some of the properties that are either in need of higher rehab costs and or not offering the cash flow they are looking for at this time.Last night I received a text message informing me that they had an investor scheduled to do a walk through on Friday morning as part of a five property portfolio.I immediately called and spoke to the current owner and he stated that he was expecting an offer of $175,000 to $180,000 and that he would except an offer from me if I could secure financing.

I am the one securing the financing and facilitating the rehab along with supplementing holding costs.

Credit scores and family background is all personal information that is protected by the fair housing act.”Just to feel secure, I want to know about some facts that might be related to paying full rent and not damaging the property. 

Can someone refer a good security attorney I can speak to?

@Dwight Cook  first don't forget to have a estoppel before closing specifying what is rent/security deposit etc. for each unit.  

The seller is friends with the tenants, so no background check was done and no security deposit was collected.

Its ironic you dont want Section 8 when that's the type of secure tenant you would want in that neighborhood who would secure rents monthly.

During the process of securing the loan for our new home the bank asked me if I was going to keep my original home in Broken Arrow or sell it. 

Then I would try to negotiate the date by reminding her she agreed at first and incentivizing going on the 30th by security check in hand on move out day or something similar.

Pretty easy to nullify (or secure) an agreement with this kind of language.
