When and How to Engage Adopted Tenants After Closing

[Jonathan Lake]

Hi Everyone - This is the first time I am purchasing properties with tenants. So, here is my 'ask for help'

If you self-manage (or even have a PM), when and how do you connect with the tenants you have now adopted post-close? What do you say, do, etc?

I was doing a pre-tour of a property I am closing on tomorrow and the owner told me that the tenants in the 5-unit aren't aware the property was for sale or sold. It was a bit uncomfortable having the owner tell the tenants I was there to do an inspection of their apartments.

All feedback welcome. Thanks in advance.
