Removing a tenant in place on a flipped property

Hi all,

I am looking into purchasing an SFR to flip in Sacramento, California and there is a tenant in place. The tenant is currently on a month to month lease. The property is off market, and the seller states that he has notified the tenants that he will be selling, and they will be cooperative. This promise doesn't extend beyond words, though.

When pulling hard money @ a 6 month balloon, how would you recommend I deal with this issue? It seems like it could really hold us up. I was thinking of inserting a contract contingency, but this would undermine the value of the fast close. It seems like the most prudent thing to do...

Please weigh in BP!
