Buying a home that is still occupied

[Watson Smith]

Bought many rentals but never one that was still occupied. I like the house and location. I can't do an inspection so I would be buying it blind. If I could work a deal with the bank for the price I want this was my plan for the occupant:

Inform them about the transfer of ownership.

Then give them the option:

1. Pay rent to me
2. Buy it back from me as I would finance them the loan
3. They would have to leave

I want input from people who have done this before. What was your experience and what did you do?

Thanks!

Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009
This act applies to all federal related mortgages. A mortgage may not necessarily be federally related, but it's still probably a good idea to give the 90 day notice even in these cases.
