Selling a house with tenants

[Iyan Tan]

I have a house in Pittsburgh with a tenant inside that is paying 800 per month which is good but I had a property manager that was crap.  I caught him giving me a quote of 1200 and one price and paying only 800. So now I am managing the house and I am debating if I should sell it.  The rent is nice but I am not sure if it worth it for me any more since I am doing larger deals. I also own a 62 lot park and a hotel.

I think this might be good for an investor that likes single family rentals and they would probably want to buy with a tenant in place already.  What is the best way to sell this house.  Should I just talk with an agent in Pittsburgh or just try to sell it my self?

Hi Iyan, 

Yes, I'd suggest speaking to a local agent who could help make a smooth transition for the tenant and new owner. An agent will also be able to market it to the right type of buyer through their network and be mindful of the showing schedule for the tenants. I agree with you, it's likely better suited for an investor who focuses on SFRs.
