Under contract multifamily with empty unit.

[Celeste Carter-McAfee]

Hello BP friends, I have my first multifamily under contract and one of the units is empty. Can I ask the current owner to have it rented before closing? Is there anything else I should ask for or stipulate or is that something that you just fill when you take possession? Looking forward to hearing some sage advise...

If I were you I would wait until closing and fill it yourself. Better to have your own vetted tenant rather than trust the seller to put a good tenant in there.
