It allows landlords to offer tenants a financial perk that can improve their credit health.

I also received a letter from the county saying that my property is in violation of several health and safety codes. 

The county health department may have ok'd it, but that doesn't mean whoever lives there isn't going to get cancer from it and sue you later for knowledge.

My only dilemma is how long I should hold onto a Class C for appreciation. 

I sense that your real dilemma is the trapped equity. 

That is my dilemma.

The dilemma i have now is that its been vacant since September 1st and I have been carrying the mortgage.

(I also had to come to CA for health reasons, so I am not sure if that is an exception)- If I use any of the above, can I use a portion of the money to pay off personal debt?

For the personal side of things, I do a GoBundance Onesheet, which breaks my life up into Financial, Health, Relationships, Friends, Adventure, and Spiritual/Contribution.Happy to share either document with you if that would help Tonio!

Health professionals are generally looking for 1-2 bedrooms and even travelers in other professions look for that size unit.
