If the Sellers are tight on money, after you have released all contingencies, you can authorize the escrow officer to release your deposit to the Sellers early so they can use the money to buy out the tenant.  

I would write in the offer that one unit be delivered vacant at the close of escrow.  With the political climate of COVID (and I don't know your market), it may be more difficult to get them out than you realize.

Look for properties that have been sitting on the market where the Seller may take care of that for you for the right price.

@Jason Tassinari you may want to check with your lender to confirm, but I believe you have 60 days from closing to move into your property

@Jason Tassinari If there is a lease of the 4-unit that will be expiring soon, you can always offer cash for keys to get them out a little sooner. This may be the path of least resistance. Maybe consider 1 month's rent + a bonus cash amount for extra incentive? Congrats and good luck

@Jason Tassinari Did you finish the stack of books you already have? I'd start there and then start taking action and analyzing deals. 

As you gain experience with analyzing, making offers, buying, rehabbing, landlording, etc. you may find other areas you want to dive deeper into. I wouldn't flood yourself with too much information before you take action. 

@Jason Tassinari its not rocket science, Its all about numbers. In my 1st month  I flipped a contract for 19k, 

all the best 

@Jason Tassinari reading on investments is good, but so is talking to those with experience.  In addition to trying to learn as much as possible about real estate I try and find ways to be better at business as a whole.

Really enjoyed the 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss.  Also reading, watching and listening to more from Gary Vaynerchuk.  Working to learn how to be better with business and more efficient with my time.

My favorite book is Millionaire real estate Investor is my favorite which I see is on your stack.  I also liked Retie Early by @Chad Carson not only was he a stud linebacker he knows his crap.
While the millionaire real estate investor breaks down the grind of real estate investing Mr Carson helps you come up with a plan to become financially free. 

The big thing big thing you have to do is buying a deal and managing it the rest is magic my friend!

@Jason Tassinari what kind of investing do you want to do? I’d read The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller and then start reading books in the area that you want to start in.

A common path is to start wholesaling, then do flipping, then buying rentals. If you’re going to be a wholesaler then you need to learn how both flippers and landlords evaluate deals so you can learn how to make offers that are appealing to them.

I’d get The Book on Flipping Houses and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J Scott for flipping.

If you haven't already you need to find a your local REIA or other networking group and start going to those.

Beware of reading too much though. You just need the basics and then start evaluating deals. You will learn WAY more doing your fist deal than you will reading a lot of books.
