Fourplex Under Contract - Filling Vacant Units

[Account Closed]

Hello all.  I have my first multi-family under contract in Evansville, IN.  Two of the four units are currently vacant.

My question is regarding filling the two vacant units before closing.  Should I ask the seller to stop trying to fill the vacant units, or should I ask the seller to allow me to be involved with the tenant screening?

Thanks!

I would have them stop if the units aren't rent ready. Or at least just hold onto them for you until you close. That way you have a tenant pool list ready to rock.

I prefer to have a hand in screening because I have specific criteria for tenants.

Good luck.
