Today I am only managing my own property 15 units but will continue to grow that number.

Look into cash out refi into conventional if you need the funds to continue to invest.

Preferrably, stay in the same area and continue to learn.Going to another area would bring additional challenges that you may have difficulties meeting.

google All inclusive Deed of Trust state of CA.. that will give you a really good description and if you can find the actual deed of trust to read its a great wrap document .. in practice   you have a current 100K loan at 8%  you sell by owner and take a 125k note at 9%  the 125k wraps the 100k.. you continue to pay on the 100k the while the new owner is paying on the 125k  payment lets say on the 100k are 1k a month the new payment is 1.2k a month you make the 200.00 delta..

Hello @Kenji Tominaga,Agreed with @Chris Seveney regarding having the owner offer cash for keys.Since there aren't many options on the market that can compare to the deal you have in place, I'd recommend waiting it out (if possible).Chances are, the value of the subject property will continue to increase while you wait for the tenant issue to be resolved.

It's an active business, not passive so I believe that requires continually evaluating the property, adjustments to decor, etc may be needed as well to make sure I'm fully optimizing the property.I have a lot of home renovation experience from my own personal home and my LTR's already so I'm very used to this kind of work.
