A: Yes...and again, you don't know what they are.5) The analysis is based on Zillow recently sold searches for 2/1 and evaluation of county auditor sales in past 5 years of 2/1's in the neighborhood.A: Much better, but I hope you didn't use the Zestimate...and I also hope your criteria for sold comps "in the neighborhood" only included properties within 1 mile, in the same city, that are within 10% in sq ftg of the property being analyzed...or it's not "apples to apples".

Do I have to honor and old landlords lease

inherited" tenants like yours are probably waiting to hear from you, so send out contact emergency info and have them respond and include with next rent payment a updated contact sheet,, I'd make an appointment to tour inside of each unit with condition sheet,, the condition from your date of ownership is now what you use for condition move out.. so once that's completed you now know which unit would be tops on your list to rehab and offer an early out to.. if that's a consideration.. you can of course let all tenants know the rent will increase to $$$ when their lease is up and you are accepting 30 or 60 day vacate notices early, they'll be prepared.
