I think your hands are tied for now because that is what the lease says. 

You probably don’t want to have $25k + or - tied up in a non-cashflowing rental.

Hello @Tie Lasater I would've to chat with you and hear about your options.

So my main question is, "How do you get your money back to buy another investment if all of your money is tied into one?" 

My intent is to do precisely what the host you mention does - but so far I've been too tied up in other things to really get it organized.  

We've thrown away a great deal of money over the years renting like chumps because we never wanted to be tied to one area.

Tie Lasater Your story sounds very familiar to our story, however we have yet to find the success piece.

I’m afraid my VA is tied up in one property right now.

Rents would average $450 per month and I would want it managed by someone else.Wondering where you'd be on numbers.Also wondering what kind of timeline you think my money would be tied up before I was at least breaking even while the rest of the units were rented out.

@Tie Lasater, thank you!
