The deal seems to be for flipper only. The people who have $500K cash sitting around surely isn’t going to buy this for their primary residence.
And for that, with tenant still occupied, I wonder if the price is still good enough to generate meaningful profit with 2-3 months holding time and commission.
They will need to sell it for over 550K to make some reasonable return. If they can get $600K, then it might be some good bet.
Would someone spend $600K for that house after August (not the best time to sell a house) ?
Keep in mind that the next buyer would need about $200K to qualify for confirming loan
