Hi @Adrian Jones - I don't have any interest or specific knowledge in your area; but your headline said "how to sell..." so here is my two cents worth for ALL landlords getting ready to sell.

Your headline tells you all you need to know.

As interest rate discussions continue to dominate financial headlines, investors in commercial real estate (CRE) and multifamily housing must understand a crucial truth: Interest rate drops alone will not solve the challenges facing this sector.

I don't know your market, but that's been the headline here in Reno.Make sure you're working with a realtor that has their own investments in the town you moving to, preferably has their property management license too.  

I will stop picking on the headline NFP number.

As long as you treat tenants with respect and own in at least a B- location, you should avoid much of the headaches you see in the headlines. i would suggest getting connected with the Salem REIA and start networking with folks there to learn more about how to be successful in your area.

In theory, there is no reason this settlement would have an effect on sellers, in fact if anything it should make it cheaper, I say in theory because the biggest outcome of this case is going to be the media coverage of the settlement, the truth is and this doesn’t make for a dramatic headline, there are 4-5 million home transactions a year, the vast vast majority were done on the mls with the agent’s splliting 5-6%.

The headline literally says, "The wealthiest Californians are leaving the state."

+Make sure the headline includes useful details (ex. free parking, dog-friendly, W/D in unit, 3 blocks to downtown) rather than generic words (ex. comfy, spacious, light-filled).

I'm sure eventually some of the technology in development around here will reach headlines.
