Your best strategy since time is important is to request the unit be delivered vacant.

@Greg Lovern It's whatever the parties agree to - and that's specified in the P&S.For a retail SFR buyer, I normally require that the home is delivered vacant and broom clean. 

@Julian Dover get him a 5 day notice hand delivered (not posted) ASAP and get that to the attorney to file.  

They are both built in a factory, but one is delivered on a flatbed and the other on its own frame and wheels.

Equity is the difference between the fair market value of the property and the amount still owed on its mortgage and other liens.escrowAn item of value, money, or documents deposited with a third party to be delivered upon the fulfillment of a condition.

@Nick Diecidue you can always ask the seller to deliver the units vacant upon closing (that's if you haven't signed a P&S yet).What I would do is buy the property, and right away have the tenants fill out a rental application, apply that information into a 3 month lease, and deliver a notice of non-renewal 45 days in advance.

I've packed bags at 8, delivered new papers at 12 and flipped burgers at 14.

They can get that extra $500 a month with real estate or by delivering pizzas in their off hours, but that is a different matter. ;-) Looking at the chart below: If you want $40,000 a year income using the 4% rule - you need $1,000,000 - none of those categories below come even close.

Can you ask the sellers to deliver the place empty?
