What happens if the t/b finds problems after having the property inspected? Do you get the owner to reduce the price to you, make special arrangements with the buyer in terms of a reduced price etc.?
Thanks!

When should I do the contracts with the tenant?
I am picking up a deposit today. they are intending to move in on July 1st.
Should I meet them a week before they move in to have them sign the purchase agreement and sellers disclosure statement??
sometime I need to let them know that they have the right to have a home inspection done also…
and then do the lease signing on the day they move in and I hand the keys over to them…? or should I just do it all on the day they move in?

I would have them sign the leaseand option agreement now. Why wait?

I think it’s generally a good policy to put pen to paper as soon as all parties have agreed on terms. It give’s you the assurance that the t/b is 100% committed, and it gives the t/b assurance that the home is theirs (no fear of it going to someone else).
I give all prospective t/bs a property info sheet that advises them to inspect the property before committing. Then when they sign the l/o agreement, the contract says that they agree to take the property as is, with no warranty made as to the condition.Congrats on finding your t/bs!
