Can you have a unit inspected while it's occupied?

[Christopher Soos]

I am currently looking at three different multi family homes in Greenville NC. They are all occupied with tenants and Zillow values them all above the listing price. How does one have an inspection done without "disturbing the tenants"?

One of these will hopefully be my first non live-in investment.

Thanks in advance for any info at all.

It usually won't happen until you have the property under contract. The landlord/owner will then give the tenant 24-48 hours notice (depending on the state laws) that he will enter the property for an inspection.
