Purchasing a property that is tenant occupied that needs rehab

[Gilmara Washington]

Hello ALL,

 I am a new investor thinking of purchasing a property (duplex) that is tenant occupied (Both Units) that needs serious renovation. What is the best way to handle a scenario like this?  Can you ask tenants to leave while place is being renovated? And if not, can you just get rid of current tenants? How does this work?
