If you find out the owner is selling for some reason other than to buy another property, you may be able to be more creative.

All I know is if I was buying a new house I would not want to wait 5 years to use it yet be paying for it while the previous owners live there. But you are right, there must be something missing here. Like they couldn't use it much anyway for 5 years? Or they got a heck of a deal on price?
