Now out of state, renters until 2019 would like to sell. need adv

[Brad Laramie]

I'm looking for some advice. I bought a rental in Dallas, TX when I was living there in late 2014. Bought for $114K, the house is now worth $180Kish.

I have tremendous renters, and renewed them for another 2 year lease in January 2017, the next month I received an outrageous tax assessment slashing my cash flow significantly, while still clearing $300/month.

I now live out of state, but have this rental until 2019. Have any of you ever posed the question to your renters about the option to terminate early and selling the house?

Unfortunately, I do not have an assignment clause in my contract to protect me in this situation.

I really would prefer to sell and find something closer to my new home in Missouri. Before I reach out to them, I wanted to get someone else's take. Please let me know if you've ever done so and things you wish you would have done differently!
