You could also chose to wait after 6 moths after the death when it was passed on to you .

Call the number in the image below (BiggerPockets wouldn't let me put a phone number in the text so I had to upload an image file).Wait until the Spanish speaker speaks and the English speaker speaks again, then press 2, then 4, then 2, and you should be able to be connected to somebody or sign up for a call back (the latter probably being a better idea this time of year).

In some neighborhoods if they go vacant, there could be tens of thousands of dollars of vandalism.

Can't wait for more events.

Then they can get them in on time or not and I'm not waiting.

I currently have occupancy through next May (2019) for this unit and was wondering if I should renovate now or wait until they vacate.I am a little tore because realistically I would not be able to raise rent to offset some of the improvement costs until this lease was terminated and the current monthly rent is already a tad below market without the improvements. 

Had to pay thousands of dollars to settle utilities, because they don't shut it off after 1 month of non-payment like it would make sense to do - tenant was overdue by over a year for utilities.

In my area in the area of the property it’s a stones throw to NYC with hundreds if not thousands of new apartments going up all around this property.

@Mike Taravella, in future, you'll be better served by being less in a hurry to buy anything that comes on the market just because you can afford it, and more focused on buying bargains - even if you have to wait to pounce.
