I'm worried that if they break their lease and leave, that leaves me with 3 offices to try to fill quickly, all of which are slightly more expensive than the going rate.I had a thought about offering to this tenant (who is interested in the 3 offices) to invite her to go in on the purchasing of the property, maybe inviting her to be a 10% owner, the thought being that if she has some skin in the game, she would be less likely to cut and run and leave me high and dry. 

The tenant has a history of being bad with communication, but I'm getting concerned given the circumstances. 

I would not even consider this deal unless there were separate gas meters to help cut costs and there would need to be a very real possibility of increasing monthly rents by ~$2,500, but even with that I would likely not pull the trigger, because I am very much about growth.If this is the only property you plan on buying and you just want the equity then it might be ok for you; you're the only one who knows what your goals are.

My first concern is that the agreement is for 6 months.

Just wanted your guys opinions on this and weather or not this is a real concern.

I wouldn't be concerned about "double appliances" to be honest, most will come with appliances and if something breaks down, you can always find fairly good condition used ones on places like craigslist inexpensively, and I make sure in my lease to state that things like washer/dryer/refrigerator are tenants responsibility to have repaired.

A lot of people cut their teeth on house hacks and single families etc and grow till they have a war chest to make bold moves. 

Anyways lets cut to the chase.

I’m curious, do you cut out tenant screening if you get a property management firm to manage your properties?

I was approached with an off market deal that seems favorable, but am concerned with crime/area tenants.
