    Negotiate the extended settlement with an option to rent for 60-90 days.

    The owners do you a favor, you do them a favor – a win-win scenario.

    Your questions need to be clearer.

    Are you buying a property or selling?

    My response assumes you are buying a property, in which case it is often beneficial to extend the settlement date.

    Hi Misty1

    There is a minimum level of rent you will require in order to settle early and have them stay on as tenants ie to be CF +ve. If the current owners are not prepared to meet that level of rent and you are not putting in a substantial deposit then aim at delaying the settlement for a suitable length of time for you to get tenants etc. Speak to your property manager.

    Hope this helps
    Jeff
