But if presented the option between multifamily real estate and single-family house hacking I think that multi family house hiking is superior.

For managing properties, I have two options: 1.

Remove the kitchen all together and convert it back into two duplexes or is there another option?  

What followed after that was an offer from them to start making weekly payments until my entire Inner Circle membership fee was refunded over 10 weeks, followed by sending me a new e-sign settlement doc with those stipulations in place of the original - even after I refused the "payment plan" option via email earlier today (as you can imagine, given the experience thus far, the last thing I'm interested in chasing my money/answers even further/longer).

Neither of us entered marriage with divorce as a fallback option if we didn’t get along at every single juncture.

couple of bullet points to bring up:* she's on M2M* I told her on 12/7 of the new rent which would apply to a new Jan. 1 effective lease, this is when I got the "I'm moving out" message* Sent her the move-out letter on 12/11, with options for her to either be moved out by 12/31 (she's fully paid up for month of December) or by 1/11 (30 days from date of notice) and pay a pro-rated rent based on her CURRENT rent amount. her choice, either is fine with me.With all that said, I'd love to do as you mentioned and post a notice on her door. 

We still owe roughly $900K on a 3% mortgage.We’re planning to retire abroad and are weighing two options:1.Sell the home – I already have a buyer lined up, so this would be a straightforward exit.2.Rent it out long-term (furnished) – While I don’t think the rent will fully cover the mortgage, it might come close.

Based on what you all have said I think my best option for now is to put the multi fam under my LLC and keep renting the others as I have been.

Hi Denise, Starting your real estate journey in an out-of-state market can definitely be a great way to find more affordable options and avoid some of California's challenges.
