Help needed, selling occupied rental.

[James Maher]

I have tenants in a rental property and their lease ends in February.  I probably should have gotten on the ball earlier, but oh well.  I want to sell this property, not because it's not doing well, but it's just really kinda too big and nice for a rental, and the equity in it can be more efficient in a different price point.

Anyways, does anyone have experience selling a house with tenants in place, to a new homeowner?  Due to the price I doubt any investors will be buying it, so whoever buys it will owner occupy.  I don't really want to just kick them out at the end of their lease, and then be stuck paying the mortgage each month.
