Is It Wrong to Kick Out a Tenant So You Can Move In?

[Shawn Torsitano]

Hey everyone, I had a quick question that is more about morality than technicalities.

I'm currently looking to try to get into an owner occupied small multi-family property, to start trying to build a portfolio of rentals over the next couple years. My question is this: If there is a great property, that perfectly fits all the criteria... Do you kick out(read not renew lease) a current tenant so you can get in?

I get that it's business for investors, but not quite the same for tenants. Moving is expensive, it can be a huge shock to a family, especially when forced like that. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,
Shawn
