(Perhaps it won't even qualify for conventional financing in the present condition.)  

(I'm not a lawyer or an expert on the many borrow protection laws in place at a federal level, so wage garnishment may even be prohibited by federal law.)

I am scheduled to close tomorrow. my contract says "broom clean condition", which i think is standard language in most PA's.well, i went there yesterday and the house is still a mess, multiple refrigirators, ovens, wheel chairs, porn tapes, cabinets, water heaters, dolls, tables, you name it, it's there.my agent left multiple messages with the sales agent (a huge knob!)

@Derik S.A lot of people invest out of their local area, because their local area is (or they perceive it to be) cost prohibitive for them to invest in.  

In my jurisdiction the Tenant Landlord Law gives me some latitude, RCW 59.18.070 states,  "If completion is delayed due to circumstances beyond the landlord's control, including the unavailability of financing, the landlord shall remedy the defective condition as soon as possible." 

When dealing with vacancy, I do my cash-flow analysis on what is currently coming in, but make allowances for the condition and availability of the vacant space.  

When I bought my 3-unit, it was conditional: the owner had to have unit x vacant and ready for move-in 3 days prior to closing.

The other side is in worse condition and a video will be coming soon. 

As a condition to the purchase, you can push the problem onto the seller with"upon COE, the property is to be delivered vacant"[a].You also can require the seller to disclose not only the rent roll . . . but the currency of each tenant[b].Upon receipt of the disclosures, you can elect to recant[a].

The property in the condition I arrived was $675,000.
