I think that’s the answer I was wondering about. In a short sale, do you have a typical escrow, where you don’t close until the previous owners are out. And if the previous owners refuse to leave can you refuse to close. (I know that in any type of sale, there can be an agreement with the previous sellers that they won’t vacate until some time after the sale. But personally I wouldn’t agree to that with someone who I feel has been doing all they can to get free rent.)
And I do understand that the hard part would be just getting a deal done, but that’s the part I already know, so I don’t have questions about that.
