Is it risky to buy a FSBO home with renter living in it?

Looking at a for sale by owner property but the owner's adult son is still living there. They say he will move out when we close but I'm afraid it might be risky since he isn't really a part of the sale. Any advice?

There are several issues. What if the renter does not leave ? What if they are in a lease ? What if damage is done at the end of the lease. Way to many issues to proceed without proper caution and documentation on the situation
