You have more to lose than they do.  

Take short-term rentals - they do provide several tax benefits, but they are hard to run and very hard to succeed at so people make the mistake of choosing the tax vehicle, get the benefit, and then lose money on the investment and hate it.

The truth is, a large percentage of landlords lose more money making rookie mistakes than they would pay for professional property management.

That’s easier to ride out than losing money every month. 

.: @Travis Boyd you’ll lose more in interest rate increases, potential property taxes increases, realtor commission and other transaction costs than you’ll pay on any future cap gain taxes.

What do you have to lose?

My opinion is that if people were making reasonable business calculations, these types of cases wouldn't even get there as the end result would be a judge having his eyes effectively glazed over and losing confidence in the efficacy of the sub metering solution. 

You lose control of the property.

No one has ever lost a dollar…………we use new investor money to make up loses of old investors5.

I would just pay off the arrears, pay out your equity, and transfer title. 3) Sell on the market, but then you'll lose some of that equity in closing costs and commissions.
