I sold my property carrying the contract myself...written to minimize capital gains. I had a very good contract attorney...20% down, no wraparounds, can't pay me off in any single year, most that can be paid in any single year is 25% of balance due, etc. This minimizes my capital gains liability...and those checks come in like clockwork...

But then, property was easier to unload back when I sold...supply and demand.

(edit) Jeff has a damned good point. Good tenants are like gold. Treat them well!
