Inheriting tenants on a four unit

[Kyle J. Cooper]

When House Hacking a four unit complex:

Prior to closing should I screen all the current tenants to see how close/far off they are from my standard evaluation? Should this be part of your research from the start, to mitigate eviction?

Raise rent immediately to reflect average rent rates or increase over time?

Any strategies for small/intermediate rehabbing while tenants are currently living in these units?

Thanks for the knowledge everyone. I hope to connect with many of you and provide some value wherever I can, especially by asking the right questions!
