"Better off" is a relative term...however, I occasionally have 4 bedroom homes in certain areas that WILL generate more income if rented to a group of roommates, in my specific cases college students or recent grads.

The purpose of this clause is explicitly to counter the "why do I want to do more work if I am selling the property." attitude.Now, in reality we know Vendors are occasionally disinclined to place new tenants (or expend the effort to place quality tenants) in a unit once the building is under contract, so we offer to do exactly what your buyer is doing ... assist the Vendor to fill the vacancy(ies) with credible new tenants {we also reserve the right to ensure the new tenants meet our standards}.

Just want to make some money occasionally!

Home Depot has a mixture of good brands and occasionally good service.

I am invested in syndicated deals and occasionally see that they will accept money via a 1031 exchange. 

The mortgage broker doing over a 100 million a year in loans with them they do not want to lose that business so will generally work to try to resolve all loan issues and occasionally grant favors or a concession.
