If you feel ambitious, you could try a BRRR strategy adding additional equity to the subject home and then taking equity out of it to pay off either the HELOC or if you decided to the refinance the primary residence. 

That experience taught me the importance of leaning on local expertise, even if it feels like an unnecessary expense at first.One strategy I’ve seen work occasionally is offering the tenant a “cash for keys” deal, where you pay them a small amount to vacate voluntarily.

Feel free to PM me and we can discuss. 

I’m still getting a feel for this platform and starting to adapt to the newer ways of networking and marketing.

So, when Trump changes to no tax on tips I feel inclined to change my rental income structure.50% reduction in rent.Previous 50% made up from a mandatory nontaxable tip. 

Carl, Sorry to hear about this.. especially while you're away I'm sure is not a good feeling. 

Post a few more photos of the different rooms so we can see the general feel of the place.

I've hated many of my tenants in my career.Given your negative feelings on the tenant I think you will feel better looking at this another way.
