Contract signed but not closed - Should we place tenants?

[Deborah Burian]

Have just signed a deal for a multi-unit, it has a number of vacancies... I am currently showing an owned property and will have more candidates than I can accommodate. Can't make up my mind if I should recruit these tenants for the multi that I'm buying.

They are somewhat similar, same zip code, my unit is B/B+, the multis are B/C-, all will be upgraded to B. There is one duplex that is an excellent match in terms of neighborhood, upgrades, etc.

Any ideas are welcome.

Bill Gulley... yes on the cash for escrows. Me too on the heart attack front!
