Close with tenets in house or not to close with tenets in house+

[Spenser Finnestad]

Hello All,

I'm currently buying a home and at the home stretch. This is my first property and would love to hear some feedback on this.

The facts/situation:

- Original closing date early June.

- Tenants were given 30 day notice on May 20th.

- Tenants want to stay till the 30th, landlord/seller trying to convince them to move out the 20th. My current apartment lease is up on the 24th. 

- The proposed closing dates will be 22nd or July 2nd.

- I go to military training on the 7th.

I have a good lock on my interest rate and afraid of doing the mortgage application over again due to a slight decrease in my current job pay but will be going up again in a few months and I'll also be house hacking once I own and solely live in the house. I would use the time with current tenants to get contractors in and give me estimates on future projects I have planned for the place, then execute them once tenants move out.

If there is a good contract on the tenants moving out either June 20th or July 2nd with the prior landlord, would you go forward with the June 5th closing date or move it to a different date after the current tenants leave?
