Can I do it as an investment property first and move into it at a later date?     

If it doesn't get forwarded, retain it as proof of attempting to deliver.Keep in mind that if you are able to rerent the unit before the notice period expires, you can only charge the tenant until you collect rent from the new tenant, you can't charge two parties for the same unit.

Keep track of every property--the address, purchase price/date, sale price/date, profit, rent at purchase, rent at sale, cost to renovate, take before and after pictures. 

If you're set on buying and this is a good asset, what can you do to get a long closing date, so maybe you can get presigned leases to get it filled up before you close. 

As a small landlord owning just a handful of rental properties, I never faced this situation before: tenants (a family of 5) are divorcing.We already passed the original 12-month lease renewal date, and we are in the automatic month-to-month right now as the original lease stated.

Do they look professional and is everything up to date.

They're also happy to commit to whatever your closing date is and blow right through it.

Think of it as dating.

And then when you get bookings from Furnish Finder or anywhere else, you would manually add that booking on the Hospitable calendar, which will then block those dates on your Airbnb and VRBO calendar.
