Selling a property that still has tenants

[Account Closed]

Hello! My name is Thomas Pascarella and I'm looking to sell a property that I previously house hacked but am now using as a rental property. My tenants are leased up until the end of February and my agent says it can't be listed until the property is vacant to schedule showings. 

I am curious as to how other investors handle selling properties that are leased. Do I wait until the lease expires to get the listing up and have it sit empty?

Your agent is just being lazy. Yes, it’s much harder on the agent to have to coordinate with tenants to schedule showings, but if they want to earn their commission they should be doing that. If they’re unwilling you should find another agent.
