If they agree to all the changes you will be golden but now is the time to make the changes.The only way to avoid the issues in the future is to include in your purchase option vacant possession.

I know that the most precious asset we all possess is time and I am ready to cash in on that very principle.

In the end, you foreclosed, and took possession of the property.

Thank you for the input, i’ll definitely consider that once we take possession and meet with the tenants.

POSSESSION: Possession of the property and occupancy (tenants excepted), with all keys and garage door openers, will be delivered to the Buyer when title transfers.

It would be used in a long FCL state as a way have possession of the property through the FCL process. 

You could also do a purchase contract, possession prior to closing, go in and work, if you need permits he will need to get them.

Depends on how long the fence has been there, it might qualify for the "Adverse Possession" or "Squatter's Right" laws.

It took about 2.5 months to get possession.

Others have money and are looking to do a deal, while others have some skill sets that I just don't possess.
