You need to do a cost-benefit analysis to determine if it's worth it.  

I'll admit upfront that I would never own rental property in CA, so that colors my response.I'd offer the tenant up to $10K to leave immediately, keeping the eviction off their record, then sell.

Quote from @Omari Atkins: Is it worth it? 

Some thoughts that go through my head......Who do you contact to get current values, after renovation values to see if this process is even worth it? 

And how does the 10% Shop Card work—was it worth it overall?

If it's the difference between $1800 and $2200 but you have to cover utilities too, not worth it. 

Just my opinion though for what it is worth.

Probably going to take 6+ before you get traction but it's worth it

A market like Boston has a long track record of appreciation in excess of inflation/cpi.
