Best Way to Tell Tenant I'm Selling

[Samuel Gostnell]

Hey everyone, 

I have a rental property that I am looking to sell. My tenant is on a month to month lease, but has really settled into the property and has expressed that he intends to live there as long as he can. He is a good tenant in most regards (pays on time, keeps it well maintained, etc.) although he does have a temper at times.  I know that telling him I'm selling isn't going to go over well. I would like to make this process as painless as possible for both of us. Does anyone have any tips to help this go smoothly? Thanks in advance!
