Nobody buys a rental planning to hate it. But somewhere between the third missed rent, the turnover that cost four months of profit, and the texts that arrive on holidays, plenty of Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region landlords do the math and realize the "passive income" is neither. If you're done — genuinely done — the exit is simpler than you think: investors in our network buy rentals as-is, tenants in place, deferred maintenance and all, because operating rentals is what they actually want to do. (For context: Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region has about 175,822 residents, and its median home is worth roughly $380,000 — numbers that matter for what comes next.)
Add up what this rental actually costs you
Do the honest ledger: rent received, minus the mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, the turnovers (a bad one in Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region can erase a year of cash flow), the hours you spend managing it, and the risk of the next non-paying month. Landlords who run this exercise often discover their "investment" has been paying them minimum wage — or charging them for the privilege.
Then add the deferred capital costs waiting in the wings: roof, HVAC, water heater, the sewer line. Selling as-is hands that entire future liability to a buyer who prices repairs at contractor wholesale — and frees your equity for something that doesn't call you at 2 a.m.

Connecticut landlord exit notes
A sale doesn't void a lease — in Connecticut, as everywhere, the tenancy transfers with the property and the new owner inherits its terms, which is exactly what investor buyers expect. Security deposits transfer at closing, tenants get notified of the new owner, and your obligations end at the closing table. Connecticut's conveyance tax runs 0.75%-2.25% state plus 0.25% municipal — sellers of higher-value homes feel it. Also worth a conversation with your CPA: depreciation recapture and capital gains on investment property have planning options (including 1031 exchanges) that reward deciding your exit before you close.
