I'm a new member at BP, based in Northern Virginia.  After listening to BP podcasts for a few years, I finally decided to join and I'm now looking to meet others in the DMV area that are on a real estate journey.

May this be a prosperous one for us all and may all of our tenants' New Year's resolutions be to be better tenants! 

Hey @Donte Rome, "Buyer will be given occupancy of the Property at Closing unless otherwise specified herein: VACANT"With this clause, you will not be entitled to close, and you could potentially negotiate with the seller for a resolution.

Set expectation up front, communication, and conflict resolution.

Furthermore, it is essential to emphasize the implementation of tenant retention strategies in order to reduce turnover rates and minimize periods of vacancy, ultimately ensuring the sustained success of your property investment.Proactive Maintenance and Issue Resolution:Embrace a proactive and dedicated approach to property maintenance and issue resolution that prioritizes the satisfaction of tenants.

This isn't going to be a fun resolution, so learn everything you can and try to create some better process for future application. 

These records play a critical role in documenting the condition of the property at the commencement and conclusion of the lease agreement, thereby aiding in the resolution of any potential security deposit disputes.

@Ryan BirdCan’t you adopt a resolution from your LLC stating that you have provided funding and given a personal guarantee for the loan and that the LLC will assume the mortgage.This assumption, while probably not acceptable to the lender, will not be recorded and would justify your LLC paying directly the lender.

What I determined from listening and reading is that it is crucial to explain the process to the seller that makes it simple to understand, benefits to them, resolution of their problem, how they are protected, and reasons why it would not be in the buyer's (you) best interest to default on them.

This is why I'm hoping for amicable resolution in the very near future.
