If the mortgage is in trouble that would trigger a foreclosure.

An audit could be triggered by a number of factors that don't line up when run through the IRS's system, and create an exception.

There are often automated flags that will be triggered if you do it, so it's best just to know how they will react.

I wanted to stock it with nice to haves like laundry detergent, drying sheets, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, scent oils for a diffuser etc.

Turns out, the previous owner did take many steps to mitigate the moisture damage and the home was very dry and mold free when we acquired it.

Selling would likely trigger capital gains taxes (unless you lived in the property for two out of the last five years or use a 1031 exchange).

To clarify another point @Tiarnan Gormley: I EMPHATICALLY disagree with any & all advice being given of: sit-tight..... wait..... be patient.... watch paint dry..... do nothing..... 

Tax StrategyWhile liquidating the brokerage account may trigger capital gains taxes, strategies like staggered withdrawals or tax-loss harvesting can help minimize the impact.

I heard you mention that you worry about Tenant placement after the medical resource you have now dries up. 

Effectively a 'Firestorm' is a dry hurricane that rains fire, with nearly indefensible circumstances, just like the catastrophic flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters they have and will intensify in severity and rapidity.Beyond directly impacted property owners, investors, insurers and businesses, the downhill effects of the SoCal fires on the immediate and surrounding areas are astronomical and still somewhat incomprehensible.
