Kevin If you don't currently have a down payment, you negotiate with the seller as to what is acceptable to them.

This is much more cost effective and should be considered up to code unless your town has codes that are stricter than the nationally accepted building code.

My doctor tells me that I have high cholesterol, clogged arteries, that I am overweight, and I need a bunch of expensive tests.

You're legally required to honor the lease contract unless you can incentivize the tenant to accept a termination. 

I can assure you, I would have those tenants out as quickly as possible, then I could complete my inspections and either accept the sales price, negotiate repairs or a price reduction, or walk away from the deal.

Some states also grant tenants a ROFR to buy the house they're living in and there are all kinds of notices that have to go back and forth when you accept an offer to give the tenant the opportunity to match it.

This happens every day, there's lots of marketing activity to say no to revenue, and oddly prior to anyone bringing it up you're screaming from the hilltops that Spark doesn't accept this money - well time will tell.

Consider accepting the tenants if they pass your screen, deny the dog, require a certified clean bedbug report for their current home and belongings and a separate bedbug deposit to cover future treatment if needed.
