Cleanliness may be the biggest issue with common kitchens.

@Kayla Elliott  Hi Kayla - this was a commercial mortgage loan with a local bank, that held it "in house" after it was issued. 

I'd issue a notice of non renewal, do the work that's needed to get the property rent ready and find a solid tenant that will help you get to your goals. 

However, there is no way to do so without risk.The Internal Revenue Services issues three (3) Private Letter Rulings (PLRs) that allowed the taxpayers to do just this.

Just make sure the town is ok with the land being zoned for multi-units, and look into construction costs, financing options, and permits ahead of time.

Will having money fix that issue?

You ask about a skip tracing issue because you are not having success with it.

Hiring someone to do the work will likely cost too much (I would charge a small fortune, it's an incredible amount of work) and doing things as cheaply as possible will bite you in the *** later when you start having issues with your own shoddy work and/or materials.

Ran into a similar issue as you back in 2021 when I was living in San Francisco.

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.
