Taking over house w/ current tenant

[Jeff Fairchild]

I'm thinking of taking over a house subject to and then lease optioning it out. The only problem is that the current tenant still has 3 months left on his lease. I know that I could bribe the tenant to leave.

Could I sign some sort of contract that would bind me to the deal but that I wouldn't be taking it over until the lease was up in 3 months, but still have it be a subject to contract?

If I was able to do this, I'm guessing that I could start looking for a rent to own buyer at the 2 month mark to give me a month to find one right?
