Having tenants in a SFH will normally reduce your buyers market considerably. It will also attract investors that will not pay as much for a SFH as a home buyer would be willing to pay. Tenants in a multi unit is fine but I would never attempt to sell a SFH with a tenant. In addition a SFH would normally require sprucing up, paint at a bare minimum, to prep for sale which is not practical with a tenant in place.
Bottom line is a SFH with a tenant in place will not sell for as high of a price or sell as easily.
