Title: Quebec RE question
Post by: AMandM on September 22, 2017, 11:48:48 AM
Does someone here have experience with the Montreal real estate market?  We are wondering whether it's much harder to sell a house occupied by a tenant vs. unoccupied.

My father owns a duplex, which our multigenerational family used to occupy both units of.  Now that us kids are grown, and my mother and grandmother have both died, my father is considering renting out the second unit.  However, he may want to sell relatively soon and we're wondering whether he might lose more in a delayed/depressed sale than he'd make in rent. 

Any opinions are welcome!  The house is in Cote des Neiges, if that matters, and does not have any fancy upgrades in kitchens or bathrooms.
