, and just relaxing downtime with friends and family.California is without a doubt an expensive place to live and get started in. 

I think I’ll just relax and let her keep possession of the house and let the rent continue to accrue until after July 4th when it is convenient for me.

The current owner seems relaxed and would rather let a unit sit to find the “right” tenant.

I would not recommend relaxing your qualifications. 

I'm thinking this could rent anywher from the $1,400 - $1,700 range for someone with enough money that doesn't want to buy, but wants a relaxing retirement home. 

Relax and enjoy.

BBQ in your private patio area or just relax and enjoy greenbelt area....$350,000Huge 22.3 x 19.5 living room with brick fireplace and wooden mantle Great location for this 3 bedroom 2 bath home on raised foundation Over 1800 square feet of living space Large separate formal dining room Hardwood floors in two bedrooms and carpet in one bedroom.....$450,000

Once you build enough cash to begin buying out of pocket, then you can relax a little ont he repairs but you must stay heavily involved.

Hire the experts so that you can sit back, relax, not worry about if the countertops came today, if the house is being marketed, etc.

It continues to be a head ache dealing with the bank but due diligence and staying relaxed knowing it's going to play out the way it should is my general rule.
