Tenant wants to purchased home, need advice

[Joe G.]

Hello BP,
I would like some advice on a tenant who wants to purchase my home.

I was recently contacted by an RE agent who works for the property management I use to manage by home in Georgia. The agent left a message stating the tenant is interested in purchasing the home and to contact the agent to discuss further.

Background: The home has positive cash flow even with the property manager. Current tenant has been in the home for just over a year and is currently on month to month lease.

I am not interested in selling the home as it is in a good rental area, I have a quality property manager, and the unit has had a low turn-over or at least a very quick turn-over each time a tenant departs.

My hesitation: If I tell the agent I am not interested they may move out/not respect the home as much.

I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed with the above information. Thank you.
