I would suggest that you get with an attorney that represents real estate agents and run your plan by them.

This can be in the form of cash, paying their agent fee, part of their moving costs, etc.Remember, the goal here is to end the lease peacefully and legally, respecting both your rights and those of your tenants.

@Daniel Barad do you have a good relationship with a real estate agent?

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

But as an experienced agent and investor (I own several properties across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and Kern Counties), I can tell you that no state beats California for appreciation and rental prices.

You will also need a good real estate attorney that can advise you on deals, a good CPA that knows the details about investment real estate, insurance agent, and contractors who can provide you bids on work that needs to be done on the properties you look at. 

Can I gain access to the MLS as a Missouri Licensed RE Agent, without joining KCRAR? 

insulate the crawl space to stop rising moisture Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For example two groups that are often mentioned as the first part of your team are real estate agents and other RE investors.

Or the various starving agents who come on BP in search of getting some transactions and strongly engage in the "fake-it-to-make-it" doctrine.
