If you can't afford to evict him... you are more or less up a creek without a paddle, especially in California.Owning the property outright means you have some equity but without a job it will be hard to get cash out of that equity in terms of a HELOC... beyond that, it doesn't sound like you could make the payments.You could also go apply for a signature loan, but again that comes with payments.

I don't rent these or let renters use these.I provide kayaks, paddle boat and a  canoe for people to use.

@Mindy Jensen For our VRBO Lake House we provide kayaks, paddle boat, canoe, life jackets and floats.We provide consumables: paper products, spices, condiments (squeeze bottles only) coffee. these items don't cost much and the guests really appreciate them.We have a fully stocked kitchen. extra pillows and blankets.We have something sweet in the fridge for them with a personal welcome card.We want to make it a great vacation for our guests and our 74 five star reviews on homeaway reflects that.We are constantly making upgrades to the property.

Same thing if I say "Complimentary paddle board and kayak".

I didn’t notice anybody leaning politically, but if they are, I’ll take this time to remind them to stand up straight with heads held high and please accept my sincere thanks for protecting my right to reply to whomever I like regarding whatever I like whenever I like without getting detention.Oh - and in case you didn’t hear —-There’s a HUGE sale on paddles!!!

I'm out on a one year sabbatical with my wife and two small children, traveling the US in a vintage Airstream visiting national parks and other places.I've thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and cycled across America, and in the future I'm aiming to one day paddle the length of the Danube River and sail around the Americas. 

I would by all means if he is offering have him do some research for you... then you can pay him to teach you to paddle board !!!

His problem started before Covid-19 so he is up the creek with no paddle. 

those folks paying you their rent every month, if they were to lose their jobs, you would be up a **** creek with no paddle. 

The training is specific to a system, step by step, that only tosses them into the deep end where they dog paddle to survive.
