Acquired 1st Property and Kicked Out Tenant. Ugh

BP,

Good News:  I just closed on my 1st Duplex! WOOO

Bad News: Kicked out inherited tenant on M2M. Feeling pretty ****** as tenant seems like a good guy, very clean, could only give him a few days over the legal minimum notice for Florida.  He seemed more sad about the situation than mad at me.

What I'm asking is is there anyway to help him?  Already told him I'd give him his security deposit when he hands me the keys so no wait, offered to give him my realtor's # for assistance.  Anything further I can do to make this easier on him?  Drove there straight from closing to give him as much notice as possible. Seller didn't want to tell tenants before I closed, understandably.

Writing this out, I think I've got to harden up on this industry ha but he genuinely seemed like a good guy who got caught in the crossfire of ownership changing hands and a short month. Anything else I can do to help or is this just a ****** moment that has to happen?
