I will check the 60 days notice thing.Yes, I would definitely prefer new tenants.  

I was wondering if anyone on here has a preference or recommendation as to which of these would be preferable or any one elses take on my whole idea.

The answers are re-assuring because I thought it was odd to tip contractors.

You should already know not only what types of deals they're looking for (fix & flip, commercial, raw land, etc), but also what areas they prefer to buy in (and which areas they absolutely will NOT buy in), what their price ranges are, what level of rehab they are comfortable with, how they will be financing their purchases, how often they buy, if they're open to seller financing, how much profit they're looking to make per deal, their desired cap rate or ROI, how many units or how many beds/baths, etc etc etc.You should ask every potential buyer all those things when they first ask to be put on your list. 

I buy, fix up (if needed), and rent out as my preferred model.  

The second contractor , also started well and assured me that he had a license and since I was in a hurry to continue and complete the project I agreed without checking his license, it turned out that he had no license , which is okay , but do not lie,that might have explained the poor quality finishes and lack of electrical knowledge.

I would prefer to avoid using owner occupied loans, but if worse came to worse, I'd do it.I could get a loan with a PMI as well. 

I know personally my tenants prefer central as it's cheaper on their monthly bill.

Residential appraisers prefer to only go 1 mile and six months back in time to appraise the building.
