If yes, is it renewed for another pre-determined period or just Month to month. some of them are tricky and renew for another x years if not cancelled at end of lease, but some dont have such requirements and you can cancel anytime.

Renters have a tendency not to keep  the lawn or trimming because it doesn't belong to them.  

Long story short, the inspection found several big ticket items that were at end of life, roof, hvac, Windows.

As to the sale price, I think there is a tendency of trying to jack up the sale price as a compensation for the seller financing....be very careful, you sell a 50K house for 55K, it will likely not appraise out in 3 to 5 years, just off the amortization.
