The reason for the title co issue has more to do with how the property is transferred (tax claim deed). 

That money is still the tenants' money and it's not allowed that it should co-mingle with the landlord's funds.    

Thank you so much for all the input.Yes I was extremely confused on this one because tenants are great tenants and Seller does not want to leave them in a bind and I think that is very nice of the seller.Tenants have been pleasant thus far and appear to take great pride in their unit.When you walk in, it appears as if you are walking into a catalog, they pay on time, have stable jobs and overall no complaints.One less vacancy at purchase would be great so thus being willing to make this work for all, without being tied to a lease agreement that I do not support fully as it is simply too vague for my comfort.I do however remain very conscious of the fact that I do not yet own the property so any such requests would really be overstepping my rights, if any at this time.Seller contacted us for input and thus the initially displayed approach, but I really do like and appreciate the comments here.I like too, that they in part support my decision to provide the lease ahead of time for review.So now I know that, I just cannot ask them to sign it, but have to wait.Thank you all.Follow-up Questions: According to Colorado Law, the lease will revert to a month to month once expired so @Deanna McCormick, can I then use January as the 30-day notice period or would I need to make that January and February?

@Melissa Harris reach out to @Justin Cooper he can give you more details or put you in touch with a refinance lender that we use out in CO for more details.

SUCCESSFUL COACHES AND INVESTORSHigh level, winning coaches don’t achieve success by just learning a few great plays – no matter how thick their playbook.

Once things leveled off and inventory got manageable, they started to work for market value .. often by pricing above their appraisal. 

However, if I want to purchase an investment property in the next 1-2 years, the risk level is very high.

Also , ask your friends , neighbors , and co workers . 

I have a flip that is completed and listed for sale in Boulder, CO.

I would like to rent a place in Colorado for the summer.
