First time Quadplex Checklist

[Marv Nettles]

Hey y'all, I'm buying a 4-unit in Alabama and I'm in DC. I'm going to be inheriting 3-4 tenants and a maintenance man with the purchase. I have a property manager in place. If the inspection goes well I'm all in. I have a rental house but the multiunit is stepping out of my comfort zone, is a great way! 

What is a good checklist of things I should know about the tenants and the maintenance man? 

[Jeff Brower]

If you get a chance to speak with any of the tenants prior to purchase, I would simply ask them. They may have insider information about the other tenants that you would not find out otherwise. Asking how the other tenants in the building act paints you in a personable light and they may be more likely to spill the beans about the other tenants' good and/or bad behavior. Also the maintenance man probably knows a lot about the tenants and vice versa.
