I would wait for them to leave, assuming they are a swarm and have not made their home in your building. 

That might take care of your mortgage and leave you with enough cash to get something else.Or......

You get rental increases and if Chick Fil a ever leaves the site you often have upside converting to absolute NNN leases with a new tenant closer to market rents. 

They also hire someone to watch the dog during the day and leave it with family members many other days. 

Finally getting my profile up and running after investing in RE since 2016 and leaving my W2 in 2024.  

Why were the sellers leaving this property?

They took it, and then dragged it out for another 3 months, kept promising they were moving out and found. place and yada yada but never ended up leaving.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

The biggest thing with house hacking is making sure the property breaks even when you leave after all expenses.

The tenant is amazing and has been there for a long time, she says she has no plans on leaving.
