People just need a place to do laundry, cook, take a shower, drink beer and sleep.

@Nathan Hann I realize your question was best practices for cash for keys and you were not asking if you should or not but based on what you have written I don't think this option should be on the table.Give 30 days' written noticeHave a cold beer to drink after they verbally assault you.If they are still there after 30 days start the eviction process (have another cold beer waiting).If they trash the place take what you can from the security deposit and take them to small claims court for the rest.

And when we feel bad about ourselves, we do a few things – one is that we convince ourselves that we don’t really want that success, and that we are happy where we are; two, we bury our heads in the sand – we do nothing, or we eat, watch TV, drink, exercise, lots of different things to escape our feelings of inadequacy.We also get into ‘analysis paralysis’ about which direction to go in, which leads us into a vicious cycle of doing nothing, and beating ourselves up even more.When it comes to real estate, it’s hard for some to decide which path to take, and endless ‘How to Get Rich in Real Estate by Doing XYZ’ stories don’t make it easier for us to think clearly and take decisive action.How about we try a different approach, one I use with clients in my coaching capacity?

The drinking water is also no good here.

How about when you have a few friends over to sit around the fire pit and drink beer until midnight? 

I am looking for anyone interested in the Houston area to get coffee or drinks and discuss SFR investing.

Money Mustache is also fairly honest about the whole concept as well for him, which was really more of a "financial security" than "sit on the beach drinking appletinis" retirement.2.

It could be a Happy Hour on a Friday afternoon in a casual environment like Katy Trail Ice House Outpost in Plano where they have lots of tables and space to get a drink, gather, meet and talk real estate.

When the water sits still it becomes non-potable very quickly, but if it has a strong current it is safe to drink, because there is no germ that can grow without sitting still" When your money sits still in a savings account it weathers in the storm of inflation.

Or should they continue to try and "gentrify" the areas around Ybor City in order to eat and drink with the tourists?
