I'm sure that's a relief. 

She also expressed that the fact we could possibly do something without the agent or associated costs would be a big relief for her. 

Depreciation without a 1031 exchange is always recaptured.Partial ownership through a DST or simply purchasing part of a property as a tenant in common should provide the same relief.

People are not getting any relief on homebuying even if prices drop or cool because mortgage payments are rising even more so. 

The only realistic or practical relief or recourse for the tenant would be to move.

The decision of many to quit is so often impulsive -- they do it with a view to short term relief and pleasure (i.e. to "sit on a beach", which sounds horrific to me). 

Which was a relief because I was uncomfortable not knowing the legalities and not being able to see any clear definition in my research.

Great comical relief!

The investor who presents to the ZBA without counsel doesn't come across the same way and the ZBA doesn't give the same leniency and patience if you don't address the correct standard for why the relief is sought. 

I have a suspicion that someday, someone (or a group / class) WILL make those sorts of allegations, pursuing relief.
