In the USA, most building owners are allowed to sell their properties, even if they are currently leased. Exceptions may include those who bought the properties through the local or Federal government, and/or have other legal (not necessarily financial) obligations with the local or Federal government to keep the property, at least, until all tenants have vacated, either by legitimate eviction (wanting to sell the property is not a legitimate cause for cancelling the terms of the lease/rental contract) or by voluntary departure of the tenant. When the property is sold, both the new landlord and the existing tenants are usually bound by the currently existing lease/rental contract, but the new owner is free to change the terms of the contract upon its renewal, or even ask the tenants to leave when their lease comes due for renewal; in such cases, the owner is obliged to give "fair notice" to the tenants (n.b., "fair notice" varies between locales; some require as little as 30 days from the time the lease is due for renewal; some as much as a year, as is the case with some apartment properties that "go condo(minium)").

If I agree to purchase a residential property from an owner but that property is currently being leased to someone what rights do I have?

If you purchase this property, you will assume the position of landlord under the existing lease with the tenant. Your rights and responsibilities are determined by the lease and your state's landlord-tenant laws. It is a good idea to talk with a real estate attorney in your area before purchasing this property to ensure that the lease protects your rights and you won't have any surprises after closing (e.g. tenant demands deposit refund, major repairs, etc.)
