Review their lease agreement and addendums.

That said, nobody says a lease has to be 12 months. 

I am looking at the possibility of taking it off the market (I am in a 3 month contract with realtor) and trying to sell the house on contract or Lease with Option, and securing a mortgage on the property to get my cash back.I paid cash for the house and renovations using a HELOC which I do have to make interest payments on during that time. 

Review their lease agreement and addenda.

They brought in additional people to live in the house who are not on the lease.

With our second property, we bought it with an existing tenant who's on a month to month lease paying $850.

Make sure you put it in your lease as wellOf course no washer and drier.

Also, you don't have to pay for a leasing fee- for example my property management in Indy charges one month rent to lease it up.

Hopefully you show some profit there.In order to count income from the condo that you're moving out of, the lender will most likely require a lease and evidence of receipt of security deposit and first month rent. 

If the previous year tax returns do not reflect the full year of rents received then you can provide the leases as well.
