You could tell them you plan to terminate their lease to move into the unit and see if they move out at the stated date.  

Finding a place that is slightly dated or needs a bit of work (not talking about blowing out walls) often means the purchase price is lower and you can update it yourself adding equity. 

First, if there is a flood between now and the closing date, it seems like  the seller may have a property policy and a flood policy, but after closing, those policies will not cover any damage incurred prior to the flood, for me, the new owner. 

The lender that I chose for my HELOC was one of those who did not close or reduce any HELOCs during The Great Recession and did not close or reduce any to-date during The COVID Crisis; I know that history doesn’t dictate the future, but given that the Financial Crisis of ‘08-‘11 was the most recent and most severe benchmark to go off of, coupled with our current situation, I feel about as confident as I think a person can be in regards to that.

My firm, for example, accepts spreadsheets, expense tracking apps like TaxBot or Expensify, accounting software like Stessa (free and relatively easy) or QuickBooks (the opposite) and so on, but we need to make sure that these tools, including spreadsheets, are correctly used.

My plan is to pass my real estate license (pending state test date) and funnel any commission into purchasing multi-families.
