@Brett SynickyThanks for your response.

Keep in mind the start is slow, you won't see these great strides at the beginning.

If the seller isn't responsive, then do like the idea of telling the tenant you tried, and see if they can get some free legal assistance from a tenant resource center.It is a good reminder as closing approaches to ask the seller to keep tenants updated on the pending sale and when ownership is scheduled to change.

If there’s no response, consulting with a real estate attorney would be wise to determine how to terminate the agreement and recover unpaid rent.Once they’re ready to switch PMs, I can recommend some reputable property managers here in Indianapolis who are responsive and trustworthy.

And tenants have many tactics to slow down the process.

Lots of good responses and opinions. 

that is accurate.i skimmed the responses and didn't see anyone mention house hacking. 

. - See our copy & paste advice at the bottom of this response.2) Managing the Renovation- Everyone thinks a PMC can easily do this. 

What I do see is that a strong screening process improves your chances of getting a responsible resident. 

and in response to your question about someone else - also difficult.
