How to do large renovation with renters in house

[Aaron Hollingshead]

I recently purchased a property in Portland, OR which was relatively cheap for the area.  The plan is to build value by having it be a rental for a few years while we are out of the state but to move there in the next several years.  We quickly got renters in but are nearing the end of a full redesign plan with a local design company.  Does anybody have experience approaching renters about possibility of doing remodeling while they occupy the unit?  Any advice on what we might consider?
