I closed because I thought it should not be a big problem, they are on month to month lease, so we will give 1 month notice.We were renting for the last 13 years, never had any issue with any landlord, never miss or delayed any  payment, I still have good relation with all landlords.There is a signed lease of month to month from previous owner, that I got as part of closing.I could slap them with 1 month notice without any talk to them on day one only ,I knew that verbal talk is nothing in terms of legality,I just talked to them frequently because I wanted to be nice landlord, but for some people "Nice" mean "weak".

I know some special tricks for wholesaling there.For instance, some people think you can't assign a contract there.

Now that's a difficult trick to pull off.  

They should be able to address issues quicker than you alone could, and frequently they get better prices on tradesmen than you might be able to get.

Little trick.....if the water heater is a brand sears sells. call sears, they have a service plan you can buy for $150 bucks a year that covers all repairs and or replacement.  

At 25-30% down, there will not be PMI, but frequently does cost 1pt.

Prepaid - - that should ring the bell, "Do I INTEND to be or frequently be involved in a law suit?" 

@Jessica Zolotorofejessica - i just took out the original paperwork and it is a "promissory note", with frequent reference to "TIC agreement"...
