Buying Properties That Already Have Tenants

[Tinotenda Arigurinu]

i just wanted to know what peoples thoughts are on buying properties that already have tenants? is it a good idea? what could someone easily overlook? do you recommend it ?

if the tenant pays, keep him and defer the rehab till he moves out. If he doesn't pay, evict, then rehab once he leaves. If he stays and pays indefinitely, you've just saved yourself some rehab money and effort!
