I'll admit upfront that I would never own rental property in CA, so that colors my response.I'd offer the tenant up to $10K to leave immediately, keeping the eviction off their record, then sell.

Lilia’s breakdown of what to consider before investing is something I wish I’d read when I started.To add some color, I had a client a few years ago who purchased a duplex in Austin with a plan to hold for 12+ years.

The areas to be painted and the choice of colors will be agreed upon by the Lessor before painting begins.

Sounds like an easily executable deal from what you've stated but likely need more color to offer path forward, terms, etc.

We focus on CapEX before beauty. as a realtor we understand selling or renting homes you have to make the home function, Roofing, windows, electrical and plumbing. after we address these we focused on beautify making sure the upgrades match the area and is forward thinking with color scheme, flooring, and flow.

It would be like if someone prepared to sell by painting to create fresh visual interest, but chose fuscia and lime green...those colors would certainly catch the eye but I'd never claim that they overdid the curb appeal by painting with too much visual interest.
