I'm currently in the process of closing my first primary residence deal in NYC, and I would like to ask for a piece of advice to the community.The current tenant of the Seller failed to move out by the closing date and the Seller decided to take a legal vacating process.Background- The current tenant of the Seller failed to move out by the closing date and I heard the tenant is avoiding direct communications with the Seller- Not sure from my end if the tenant is willing to moving out but struggling, or maliciously squatting- I have a vacancy contingency in the contract, thus I can back out at my discretion due to this issue, but currently there is no other properties that I want to move on to due to the market condition- The Seller is trying to take a legal action but it will at least take 3 months or longer, no promise to succeedAdvice to ask- My attorney could not negotiate to ask for a penalty for this delay because the penalty for delay was not included in the contract.

Good morning!! I'm so excited about this new endeavor into real estate investment and entrepreneurship. My partner and I are complete newbies. Any advice would be helpful!! Looking to start ASAP :)

If you recall also those with swimming pools in Los Altos hills that were on a hillside some of them the water came out and flooded into their homes.. it was quite random.. my kids were walking home from grade school alone ( Back in those days it was OK for kids to walk a few blocks by themselves.. )  The poor folks though on Hwy 17 connector through Oakland got pretty much squished when the top deck fell down that was very sad..

I think thats a great idea for the weekly schedule blocks for showings on occupied properties!

You can avoid alot of issues by sending out an email for example if you have a materials delivered and the guy is temporarily blocking the driveway or taking up a space.

The walls are made out of blocks, no wood. 

What malicious damage could they do to the building and other tenants?

You can block callers etc. there is more.

If what you say is malicious and untrue, with intent to harm, then of course it's a libel.

@Josh GregoryEdgewater has some good blocks and there is certainly a lot of activity as it is basically wedged between Ohio City and Lakewood.
