Would you have to wait until the current owner moves out...in a year...if they actually leave as agreed? 

Hey Mathios, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

I moved from Florida to start investing in Columbus due to the same reason.

Unfortunately I have a tenant moving out and am looking for guidance on the process of vetting out for a new tenant.

I have never bought a property for nothing but I was able to get many many communities with nothing down and great seller financing terms.Listen to the seller, find out what their motivation is, their pain point then present them with a solution and see where it goes, when the terms make sense have the guts to move forward.

More than just a practice facility.https://www.therams.com/news/rams-announce-move-to-woodland-...

However, on move-in day, the tenant claimed the unit wasn't clean enough and refused to move in, despite my offer to clean whatever was needed the next morning.

I grew up in the Bay Area but moved out here to invest.

Moving forward, I have prioritized diligent property maintenance to safeguard against similar challenges.

I had received approval from my parole officer for a residential move, but there was a misunderstanding regarding the reporting timeline for my arrival at the new address.
