I too once went down a similar path, although I grouped seven properties each into two LLCs. 

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.

You go to contract with the owner for X then you go to contract with the buyer for X +, so YES two contracts.  

I have two small boys and would love to invest somewhere that makes sense for us, aka Florida (Kissimmee area). 

That was enough for me to pass the exam (it was four years ago but I passed the broker test two years ago).I don't think what I did is inconsistent with what you did. 

Because of the 750-hour requirement, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to qualify as a real estate professional if you own only one or two properties (unless one of them is undergoing significant renovations).

The best way to get those two close is by inspecting regularly. 

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

I like mailers but if it's one individual building you really like then be aggressive and door knock 

Hey Casey, I just found a portfolio of two fourplexes on the east side of town.
