What is the best method...

[Shannon McKenzie]

Hello,  

We just purchased a house at a free and clear sale a month ago and got our deed today.  There are tenants still living in the property.

Is it better to simply evict them and start over or should we post notice that we will be needing them to sign a lease?

Do we now own all of the appliances in the property should they choose to move?  

This is our first time purchasing an occupied home and aren’t quite sure where to go from here.

Thanks!
