Is so, have a received a pre-qualification letter from them?

I feel I win, I have proof they paid to have foundation work done....completion letter and all.

Since he is unresponsive, send him a letter and keep in touch. 

I would write a stern letter letting him know that state imposed eviction delays do not excuse or forgive any rent.

(This is proposed in initial conversation with seller, same as proposed price.) ( I am assuming this is a balloon payment)I currently don't have money for the DP of 10-15% but I have enough cash reserves to acquire this and maintain my other properties.Property is in sellers market. 

I received a letter from the HOA last week stating that I have violated the HOA CC&R - "...hardwood flooring shall not be installed in a second story unit..".

So if you are putting out a letter of intent 3 times a week; possible put a 2-3 business days expiration or something similar.

If they want more detail, you can talk about balloon payments, maybe even offer them a prepayment penalty.

These would be the houses you could target through direct mail letters & calling to make an offer to buy their homes.If the area has a lot of homes sitting on the market for an extended period, it might be good to understand why. 

Commercial you pay a higher rate, shorter-term loan, amortized over 20-25 years, with a balloon payment due at 5,7,or 10 years likely.
