Looking for ideas to get them out, to start renovations and to flip quicker.

@Neal Collins Sound advice there, That scenario is a good one to choose but I sense some urgency in closing the deal is of value here so I chose to inherit the tenants to close the deal quicker, it appears that helped me get the discounted price.

Buy and hold for 5-10 years and sell to exchange can build massive wealth much quicker, to the point where eventually you can hold on forever. 

For you, this might be a profitable niche and there are lots of investors that do very well with the seller finance method.I'd caution against the idea of using seller financing to make it easier to sell, followed by selling the note so that you can re-capitalize quicker.

You might want to consider joining a team to learn the business, and to start making money quicker.

If you are targeting properties on the MLS being licensed could be a big benefit as you could see the properties quicker and write your own offers without having to rely on another agent.There are costs to keep in mind but one decent deal should pay for several years of costs at least here in California .

Narrowing the focus helps reduce that.On the other side, it's easier for 1 investor or 2 investors (partnership) to cast a wider net and come to a decision quicker.

I like to mentor 2-3 new agents at a time so they can work together while learning.We also do leasing and property management so it will provide some immediate leads and quicker cash as you are getting your feet wet.

A modular is quicker but could be a bit more expensive.

It is a riskier way to sell, but can often lead to a quicker sale and higher sales price.
