There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

If there is a problematic tenant, I always ask that the property is VACANT @ COE.If the current owner wants to close, they will have it vacant before we issue a clear to close.

As a CA native and former out of state investor I went through some similar issues back in 2021 when I got started.

is it priced at retail despite the issues, or is it priced to move?

Never any issues.
