Adjusting rent on possible deal with current long term tenants

[Ethan Robert Hopkins]

Hey guys, I'm new to the BiggerPockets forums and am just getting my foot in the door when it comes to real estate investment. I have found a property that I think would be ideal if I can get it for the right price but my concern is that the tenants who are currently occupying and have for the last 20 years might be taken aback if I have to raise their rent from what it is currently to adjust for my costs and expenses on the property. has anyone had any experience with this type of situation?
