Any suggestions on what to do with my rental when my tenant leaves? Plan to sell

I currently have a duplex in North New Jersey. The tenant is about to move out within the year and I’ve considered selling the property and buying a house in a more affluent town in Northern New Jersey. I’m aware that in this sellers market, it’s hard to have any contingencies (buying/selling simultaneously) but how about having a contingency to sell and stay in a different unit for 4 to 7 months while searching for a property. I’ll have to sell so that I could have a higher down payment on the new house and honestly, I don’t want to keep the old duplex and be a landlord. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should do? by portele560 from Atlantic City, New Jersey. Jun 28th 2022 Reply
