You can require current owners give notice before closing or even offer cash for keys to mutually break a lease early if they are all long term leases.  

If there is a new lease already signed, you could talk to the new tenant to see if you can mutually agree to cancel the agreement and they look elsewhere.

I know its not required but was curious as to what degree/certification/etc would be most beneficial to becoming successful in this world.
