Quote from @Joel Case:

I would opt to close only after the unit is vacated. I have seen too many posts on here about the new owner not being able to get the tenant to leave, make it the sellers problem. 


 Totally agree that definitely happens, with the market softening you're more likely to get a seller to do that. When the market was hot sellers were refusing in our area.

I would honestly contact a local real estate office and ask who they recommend. I'm a Realtor and we work with professionals in all areas and refer only the best so we know they will do a good job and we can feel confident in referring them.

Hey Hannah, 

Are you wanting their advise on real estate deals or for them to make you a master contract? I have never had great luck with real estate attorneys. As a realtor I tend to have to babysit the attorneys, realtors do a great job and can help for just a fee depending on what you need possibly cheaper than what you'd pay an attorney. 

Yes you would make the offer contingent on the seller giving notice to the tenant in the unit you wish to occupy. Then they would either have them move out prior to closing for you to occupy or just give them notice and you can move out once they do after closing you can do it either way. The only thing with them giving them notice is sometimes it takes 60-90 days depending on how long they've been in the property. Feel free to message me with any questions happy to help
