We also conduct our own walkthrough prior to the tenant taking possession and then ask the tenants to conduct their own video walkthrough once they've taken possession.

Since obviously we have to deal with the 90 day flip rule and also time is money we want possession of the property ASAP!

I let our agent know we wouldn't accept deductions from the deposit for her rent, but it ended up being a moot point since they evicted her and we haven't taken possession yet.This is the same reason I don't like to see late fees and what not charged against the security deposit, if the property sells it becomes the new owner's problem.  

I have been unwilling to buy online auctions because from what I can tell, you aren't getting any title guarantee. for every property I have seen on auction.com you are getting a special warranty deed but that doesn't protect you from anything that happened before the lender took possession, which would be EVERYTHING that can bite you.

They take possession of their new home at the end of July but are closing on their current home on the 10th of June.  

A tenant stopped paying in February 2020, I got eviction order and waited legal time frame for writ of possession. 3 days before that, maratorium on evictions happened..

Vacant possession should be standard language.

Seller may say NO, but would accept $85,000 --- so that's good - you've reduced the price by $15,000, your trial offer was successful.The next step is Second Stage Negotiation, you've made an appointment, you got your comps, you have a fair idea of value - after inspecting the building you'll certainly find other deficiencies that you can negotiate for a lower price - at that time you make an offer that suits you.Pull out your Skinny Contract of sale and write it up - if the transaction is done right using the right clauses you should be able to control the building with right of possession and the right to market - now go find an assignee to flip your contract to.

I was told In 11 days I can file for possession of the property.

And, in most cases, even if they don't redeem, the original owner can retain possession of the property for at least a year after the tax sale until the tax deed buyer forecloses their redemption rights.
