@Patrick M. yeesh rent control, a temporary government program from the Great War (World War ONE) run amok until the present day.

Sometimes hardship is temporary, if you help them go through it, situations become good again, just make sure you don't backfire and make their situation worse.

I'll send you an email.

You still need to meet expenses so if this isn't temporary you unfortunately will need to take action.

I just got some wholesaler prices and houses in my email and honestly some of them are laughable.

Additionally: whatever you do about this, try to stick to email (other written communication) that you can later go back to in case the tenant decides to claim that he was not fully reimbursed.(1) Ask the former owner for any Lease he had with this tenant (it sounds like you were this tenant's landlord for 6 days - I'd ask for this document during the purchase period.)  

I've been networking with lots of CA people but have found one common denominator....that CA is EXPENSIVE lol but its all relative right.... send me a text or email!

While this isn't ideal, it is also temporary.

I follow several buyer's lists and get many emails with their wholesale inventory advertising something like "Home for $140,000 with ARV $250,000" or something similar.

I get random emails from them.
