Trying to decide if I should sell my house with tenant in place

[Ruth R.]

I have a house in Jupiter and had been planning to remove the tenant then sell the property. The tenant has lived in the house for many, many years, has consistent income (military disability) and a family, so I hate to do this. However, I no longer live in FL and managing the property remotely has become quite cumbersome. I know that in many ways, it is easier to sell a single family when it is not occupied, so that was my plan. However, if I were to try to sell it with a tenant-in-place, what would people suggest be the best route?  I know he would not be especially cooperative with numerous people walking through due to COVID (one of the reasons I was thinking it was best to remove him).  Any suggestions?  I'm really not a good landlord, because I worry too much about the impact on the tenant and I made the mistake of getting to know them :-).
