@Pete Silan My clients have told me things usually run very smoothly when their child is living in the property for the first 1-3 years.

Inheriting horrible tenants is often THE reason the current LL is selling to begin with.... they are done with dealing with them and have likely not run their business vey well and just want out..... if everything was smooth sailing and being run properly, then the current LL likely would not be selling....at least not at an attractive price.People's natural response is to fear change.... having a new LL is scary, so you have to realize you are dealing with someone that is on the defensive day 1 and not overwhelm them by coming in with a heavy hand..... small changes at first and much bigger changes as lease come due or you have turnover.....
