You wait for them to leave, you move in and change the locks.

I am not sure if this is the right place or not but I wanted some input into any obvious issues with my lease option offers to the tenant buyer that earns plenty of income but doesn't have the cash right now and wants to improve credit before purchasing but would like to lock in the price as our market is still struggling with inventory. 

I would keep my eyes and ears open to Denver Heights (west of Walters), Highland Park, and Riverside!

Not sure exactly what that means but that's why I wanted to get it locked in good! 

With this deal I’m looking at, I’m gonna have to leave a big chunk of equity locked up in the house in order to break even or cashflow.

Now they're ears deep in IRS notices requesting that 2553 to confirm S corp, but really....they shouldn't be an S corp at all. 

I like land locked areas and urban markets as do most firms. look at where banks buy buildings. mostly 20 story buildings in downtown markets for a reason. asset protection and preservation so we try to do it as close as possible. there are lenders in columbus that do 100% hard money financing for renovation loans that based on experience make concessions to experience operators. we are vertically integrated though for design, build, entitlement, leasing, and brokerage so there isn't much missing. licensed general contractor. 

I'm still green around the ears but am preparing for my first rental property purchase this year.

I did not lock up this deal as expected for various reasons and I don't believe the wholesaler found an end buyer.

I can pre-authorize an amount and if the expense is below that, the vendor can do the repairs without talking to me live4) Urgent maintenance issues - say a pipe breaks, or tenant is locked out.
