1st Deal Deadlock - Current Tenant Won't Make Time For Appraiser

[George Brown]

Hello all,

As the title says, I'm closing on my first ever deal and I am at a standstill. Apparently the current resident won't make time for the bank's appraiser to go to the property to view it. Clearly the seller isn't motivated enough to push this deal along. Does anyone have any suggestions of what they would do given this situation. 

Understandably the current tenant works and isn't home till after 5:30pm which is too late to take photos for the appraiser.  I've met the current tenant once, they enjoy living there (5 + years) and have no interest in moving which I had no plans on removing them. This is my first ever deal and a pretty good one that I don't want to lose out on. Any creative insight on this would be appreciated.

Thanks BP Community.
