@Mike McCarthyThe rent allocation between the vendor and purchaser is an adjustment made at the time of Close based upon the day of the month the purchaser takes possession.

Currently have five. 3 paying regularly, one about to pay off and one I had to foreclose on that I'm taking possession of in about 30 days.

Our local government is selling thousands of properties that it has in its possession.

Have a lawyer write an agreement and include a clear date for sale, include the disposition of possessions in the house if any.

My understanding of a land contract is when a buyer gets possession and makes installment payments to the seller.

Write up a simple letter for the tenant to sign (along with you also signing) before a notary that agrees to a "voluntary surrender of possession".

I have tried cash for keys before as well with other folks and I still had to go through the whole process to get possession of property.

There is slight chance you can pay off the lien and take possession of the property if there are no other liens and there is a clear title.

June 2016 repainted the interior and other minor maintenance in preperation for sale, however 2 contracts have fallen through and we are about to have our 3rd fail (with Possession Prior to Closing to make the situation more complex now).

Many of the flippers I know do some work to a house after the new owner has taken possession of it.
