If you want the furniture, just negotiate that and put it in the contract.Could you lease it from them for those 3 months and operate under their permit till yours is available?

I advertise via Sabbatical Homes and Harvard Off-Campus Housing and insist my leases begin on Sep 1, Jan 1 or Jun 1 and end on Dec 31, May 31 or Aug 31. 

This raises a question because we had a lease agreement on file showing a rental amount of $2,000 per month."

Here are a couple of ways you could structure the deal:Lease Option with Seller Financing: You could lease the property with an option to buy later, allowing you to rehab it while giving the sellers time to find a 1031 replacement property.Seller Financing with Deferred Payment: Structure the seller financing with no immediate payments, allowing you to refinance once the property is appraised, and the sellers can complete the 1031 exchange when ready.Escrow Holdback: Transfer the deed into an escrow account, giving you control without immediate transfer, so the sellers can take their time with the 1031.Third-Party Facilitation: Use a qualified intermediary to hold funds and facilitate the 1031 exchange while you refinance.These options allow flexibility for both you and the sellers.

I do have several S8 rentals, while they are generally performing well, there is more paperwork involved in the leasing and the strict inspections can be quite a pain. 

Firstly, it often generates higher rental income compared to long-term leases, particularly in desirable locations or during peak seasons.

No emotions... no arguments.... this is the lease conditions, this is the eviction process for not following the lease terms... that's it.... no emotion. 

Easements can be purchased, leased, traded or sold.A lease is an encumbrance as well, they can be financed, used as collateral or sold as well by the holder. 

I am planning on not resigning my lease and starting of my RE venture.
