I could use ideas for alternative options, thanks for listening! 

Alternatively, you could use your agent, but make sure seller is on the hook for the leasing commission.If a lease cannot get signed before close, then I do like @Erik Whiting's suggestion of escrowing some money. 

At the very least the PM should have provided an alternative landscaper. 

The alternatives are how quickly can you save up more 20% down payments, or have you got any access to private money from other investors?

@Aaron Caminati I think you need to chill out and realize that many larger multi-families have far more people going in and out on a regular basis.So the alternative is that this person goes to another's home to sit with them?

Alternative income streams being close to a hospital could include "furnished finder" for attracting traveling nurses when the Hospital is up and running. 

Many investors have found success by self-directing their IRAs or 401(k)s to invest in alternative assets, and one of the most popular assets is real estate.

Alternately what If he pays me this 10% after I have financed the deal contingent on it's purchase?

Alternatively, he could sue you for repairs and possibly get a court to agree that you have not responded to any of his complaints - noise included.

I would discuss a landscape plan with them and make a deal if your alternative was to hire a landscaper or do it yourself.
