First house hack
Hi BP! I am recently under contract for my first ever investment and first ever house hack! I am so excited to start my dream journey. With that being said, I have some questions. The duplex I’m buying already has a tenant and the lease will be switching over to me as well as the security deposit. For those with experience, is this a situation where you have the tenant sign your own personal lease once the title is switched to my name or just keep the current lease until it’s up and have her sign my lease when it comes to that time. I hope that makes sense. Thank you!!
