Besides that I think it's pretty much the same as any other tenant from my experience.Section 8 may help with covering a deposit, really depends on the tenant's situation.I still did background checks, since you're inheriting tenants this may not apply.

If it's occupied with tenants the next buyer/owner will likely inherit the leases (depending on your specific state law) so there is an expectation it won't be perfectly staged.  

So, I am inheriting this tenant as delinquent on day 1.

I have inherited two lots that were my Great Grand Fathers.   

We inherited those leases.

I have one tenant that I inherited with a duplex that's been there for 10 years. 

Essentially you pay tax twice.If you pay the taxes now, and you are doing it right, you can effectively avoid income tax on all profits and when you die, your heirs inherit the property at a stepped-up basis.

But you want to make sure that it makes sense, you don't want to inherit someone else's nightmare.

The new owner inherits the tenant and has to abide by the lease in place.

I inherited the previous owners brother as a tenant.
