The lead issue, coupled with an overall discomfort with the neighborhood and the home itself, has significantly impacted her mental and physical well-being.

And most times, if you have that grind mentality, they will feel somewhat threatened by you ultimately becoming their competition (unless of course they are retiring or getting out of the business).I hope this somewhat helps.Georges Franco

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.  

This is not about becoming a college or pro player.Work on (fun) physical and mental toughness with me at the house (wrestle, tackle football, physical basketball). 

So I would just address whatever is mentally holding back get a team together and take action.

The first speaker from south africa, Sean Thomson, had too much of this chakachaka-mentality I do not like that much.

The other factor to consider is less tangible, but comes with mental security.  

Yes, I have supported her emotionally, financially, and mentally, but that’s doesn’t entitle me to 50% of what she’s built.

What about keeping it way it is and hiring a PM.I would either option A or option C and lean toward option C, while take tax hit etc. and others its done and do not need the mental strain

Here’s a quick take on each option:Sell and buy in SoCal: This offers simplicity and high appreciation potential, but with all capital tied up, it limits flexibility if the faculty housing waitlist falls through.Keep current home as a rental, downsize in SoCal: This maximizes long-term profit through appreciation of both properties but might feel tight financially and in space.
