Your budget or lack of budget will probably have the biggest impact on how you move forward. 

.- Tenants want to stay till the 30th, landlord/seller trying to convince them to move out the 20th.

We were interested in the Mount Zion Blvd deal in Ellenwood, GA, due to several key factors: Profit Potential: The property offered a clear profit margin, with a purchase price of $165,000 and a sale price of $234,900.

Unless its a perfectly turn key deal with market rate tenants, you'll actually have more control over a property upon closing with vacancies than if it had tenants.

I have a tenant who moved out recently.

Not sure what you mean at 2.75%, current rates probably around 7% depending on your credit and down payment.So you own a home now and looking to rent that one and move to a owner/occupied 2-3-4plex?

$10k is a good start. it took me 3-4 years to save $30k. it cost me $6,100 to get the keys.

As with most things, the answer is it depends.If you had the right mentor or coach, it could potentially move you forward in a big kind of way.

Question 3: If I don't meet the full exclusion, I certainly meet the criteria for a "Work-Related Move," meaning that I would qualify for a partial exclusion.

The tenant may have given a key to someone and you don't want them rifling through the rental or taking possession of it.
