Most private owners are not going to want to take the risk of financing because the foreclosure process is oftentimes more complex and longer than the eviction process and most do not even want to deal with being a landlord which is why they are selling.That being said, some people are naive enough to take whatever offer comes to them if they have been waiting around long enough and the person making the offer attempts to document why they would make a great person to finance to.I would probably also offer to pay interest (5-10% fixed) and show documentation of work history, rental history, taxes, a handwritten personal letter of interest and motivation for wanting to purchase the house and anything else.

He actually called the seller and told him the ballpark our offer would be in and sent me a text stating that it was unnecessary to submit an offer as the seller didn't want us to waste our time.
