I would not be willing to offer him more than $85,000, because it would take $20,000. to get it sold at $140,000.With that being said I would like to structure an agreement that may be more beneficial for both parties and present it to the seller in addition to my cash offer of $85,000.This agreement would put me on deed and give me full power of possession and sale.

I had not even considered that the tenant would make claims that they had personal possessions stolen, which I am almost certain would happen.

Many times when people don't have many possessions it means they don't have much money. 

A separate paragraph stating in all capital letters that "owner's insurance does not cover tenant or tenant's possessions".

Changing locks and setting property out before an eviction court proceeding has awarded possession to the landlord falls under self-help eviction and therefore it should not be done by those who wish to keep things legal. 

Prideful (or possessive) home owners care if you cut their tree even when it overhangs your yard.  

Ask the Seller point blank and in writing, if they have had any tenant that has been more than 60 days late on rent since he took the possession of the property.Suggestions (based on my experience):1.

It will cost you some money but it it‘s the simplest and cleanest way to ensure you get possession of your property.

I would propose a few extra days for pick up and then say their possessions will be disposed of or donated to charity on such and such a date.
