Get to know your local rental laws now or hire a pro to help you.

(make sure your contract specifies that you get deposits and pro-rated rent when you purchase)Only thing you can consider requesting is that the tenants be put onto a new month to month lease. the benefit to this, is oral leases can only convey rent amount. this lease is created by accepting rent from the tenant every month. every other stipulation defaults to state law. this means tenant can show up tomorrow with 3 pets and you cannot do anything about it (except provide notice of lease termination) whatever you do keep the current tenants on month to month.

After extensive research online and calling the county register office I still can't find it...any tips here?

Thanks for any tips and suggestions!

Or any tips you have for someone starting fresh in the game?

Just graduated law school with no student loan debt, my wife is going for her NP and is also a vet.

 @Rush Wall thanks for the tip.

As a n exercise, you can look up recorded (all (M)LO must be by law) documents for (M)LO in the county you plan to invest.
