If they want to stay they and pay me a fair price that's fine, if not it gives them a cushion to leave.

Sometimes you get pleasantly surprised.  

@Kurt BraunerI would suggest a longer stay if you really want to get a feel for the area and also meet people.

My beautiful grandma allowing me and my girlfriend to stay with her rent free till we were able to support our selves and Asking friends and family for small loans to get by every week to support my little future family paying them back with recycling money and any labor work i could do Or help out with. 

Loan stays in your name.If you can make the higher rates work you can do 30 year fixed at 7-7.5 percent interest from some of those national portfolio lenders like corvest finance.

Your travel expense stays lower that way. 

In what part of the area are you looking to stay short term while you shop for a new home? 

I do have another place to stay if I do choose to sell.

the cons of this building is that it has tenants that are smoky and stayed there for long time, some of them are paying through government assistance which I really don't know if this would be a bad idea or what, the unit that might fit our growing family as we are now three and expecting a baby soon!

In this scenario it's looking more likely that we should stay away from equity appreciation assuming the high risk.
