FWIW - Zach and Scott have tried to find a workable solution to help make this less financially painful. 

I have some workable solutions and ideas on how to address this tenant going forward. 

If so, see if you can find a workable solution to satisfy both of you.

I spent 55K of my own money for one weekend presentation where I had 100 investors come to listen to me present Portland income property. and I sold all 22 duplex's in that one weekend.. and made 36k a piece in commissions paid to me on the HUD just like any other real estate broker. would make I paid my team members out of that.. and still made about 500k on that deal by spending 55k up front and being the Real Estate professional I am or think I am .So as I brainstorm here is there a way you guys could run your wholesale business by being brokers like the buys I work with in Orlando.. and on these hard to sell homes that really can only be sold to investors because they are not financeable ( ore the majority are not) if you just took a flat fee listing say you want to make 10k a deal.. you simply get a listing agreement that calls for 10k instead of a % and its up to the seller if they want to accept the offer.. you need not do any of this .. contract stuff tying it up.. double escrow all that... would this not be workable..

Why don't you simply ask them if they want/need out of the lease and come up with a workable solution.

From an investment standpoint it's probably not a workable solution, but for someone wanting to live off the grid, it would work!

Central California has places with workable numbers.

You should always run this by your Attorney, and follow HIS advice to the letter.I want to be very clear about that, and start out by saying that this is what a seasoned Investor suggested to me at the time as a workable solution.You have to realize upfront that this course of action requires quite a bit of work and you may still end up without a viable solution.But here it goes.Go to the IRS website and download all information on Form 1041.

I am not too familiar with the Cleveland market but I'd be really surprised if the only deals that appear to work are in D/F neighborhoods, it strikes me as a market that should have workable deals in better neighborhoods. 

The margins are thin, but it's nonetheless a workable wholesale deal.
