Things to Ask for When Purchasing a Small Multi Family

[Ryan Robinson]

Good morning BiggerPockets,

i'm new to investing and before the end of the year I am very serious about purchasing a few rental properties in Maryland, North Carolina, and potentially the Philadelphia area. This is a question for all of my real estate experts: When I'm looking at a multi-family property that has existing renters, I know I should ask for financials, but what exactly do I need and should I ask for? What should I be looking for on these documents?

Thanks and sorry for my ignorance. If I don't ask, then I don't learn.
