Should I leave an unit vacant when selling?

[Jeff Jansen]

I am thinking of selling a duplex that I currently own in West Michigan and was wondering if it's a good idea to wait until April when the downstairs tenants lease is up and the move out?  Or would a buyer prefer to have the property fully rented and bringing in income right away? The upstairs tenant is good reliable long-term tenant with no plans of ever moving out.

Renovate the vacant unit and sell that way. Owner occupants always pay top dollar so they can occupy.
