Buying a 2/3 family home with tenants Bridgeport

[Mathew Fuentes]

Hey everyone. So im looking into buying a multifamily and quite a few of them have tenants in place already. I wanna house hack so some/ all the tenants may have to go. Im using an fha and i have to live on the property 

As a first time investor , do you suggest looking at vacant homes only?why or why not ?

Also,  if you would like to keep some tenants but have one move out of a unit for you to occupy , how do you go about having a particular tenant move out ?

Because there are covid rules in place at this time, can you have a stipulation in place where the home is vacant prior to  purchase ? 

All your input is greatly appreciated.  If there are any meetups in the CT area please let me know as well. Id love to connect with people.
