@Dave Foster good food for thought - thank you!

I’m seeking the thoughts of people here on how to best sell a small portfolio in Smyrna, Ga, a suburb of Atlanta.

I have three properties on the same street, all with stable tenants, and with a combined value of about $800k.

They generate $4500 per month in rent.

At my stage of life it would make sense to sell them, but I’m not sure how to do that without causing tenant turmoil, and so on.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the various good opinions. Lots to think about, and I appreciate the input. 

I've been driving and scanning online, and perusing broker feeds, looking for small rental opportunities in the greater Atlanta area. Currently, I have a couple properties and would like to add two more. I'm wanting to buy in the 150k to 200k range, and get rents that approach the magic 1%.

However, in the metro Atlanta area, this seems to be a thing of the past. I am not equipped by skill or temperament to do major rehab. Paint and paper, fine.

What I have been finding is that the real estate market here is heated to the point where this is easier said than done.

Are other Atlanta investors finding the market too hot to handle, or am I jus too cheap? I'm curious about the experience of others.
