The law firm that handled the transaction (and 95% of my previous transactions) needed some pushing to get things done.

After all, inventory was super thin and many of our markets are highly desirable for owner occupancy (i.e., not just STR).

If you position yourself on the outer edge of that moving path of progress, there could be opportunities for STR/MTR/LTR all in the same neighborhood, which gives you that desired strong pivot-ability.  

That might work if your listing is a very desirable one...what happens if it sits on the market 30+ days?

I do not desire to reward tenants for poor behavior.I explain the consequences of an eviction to the tenant.

Full disclosure they are our firm's referral partner, but more than likely  they can save you money and are cheaper then alternative companies 

There wasn't a firm decision that he made at that point in time, hence things were undecided and unsettled. and not at any point in time, Tenant sent a written letter of move out intent/notice until recently, mid-August '24, when I got the first written "move out notice" from him via "email" that he ll vacate the house on Sept 01 and that the payment will be left on the counter.

If you want to live in one of the older neighborhoods (which are very desirable) that's just what you get in 100 year old buildings.

I would think snowbirds would not desire class d units/area.   

Sell and buy something different maybe in a more desirable area.4.
