We had originally factored lower operating expenses due to the deal's proximity and our plan to self manage.The seller hadn't kept any records, so estimating costs moving forward proved relatively tough to nail down.

😂 Yeah… not quite.What really hits you fast is how tough it is to build trust.

You're basically trying to find out if the seller is in a tough spot OR need a few days post-closing to transition into their new place- Would the seller be open to _______ (insert terms, condidions, concessions, etc.) - Would the seller prefer to sell the property with the current tenants? 

Those buyers already proved they’ll close if the numbers make sense.And yeah, buyers need room to make money.

Eviction isn't a great option here- I think you'd have major problems in court proving which tenant caused this issue or if it were tenant caused at all.

Insurance is tough right now.

The agent forgot to include a clause in the offer that before they buy that they need to sell If you can prove that you requested the agent to put in this clause and agent did not, my view is the agent has some responsibility.However, you signed (or e-signed) the offer.  

If you can prove the unit was in fine shape at move-in or purchase, you would have a case against the tenant.  

This is the USA , you dont have to prove you are innocent .

THERE ARE NO TAX BENEFITS UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE TO PROVE TO THE IRS THAT YOU ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 750 HOURS ON REAL ESTATE.
