I enjoy working with Summit Law Group on all real estate and corporate matters. https://www.summitlaw.com/

This to me just seems like the (stepping over dollars to save pennies) syndrome I have seen over the decades.You must not have enjoyed the commercial real estate space working for the REIT.

For instance, I'll bet your lease requires the tenant to provide 60 days intent-to-vacate notice (or less) at the end of the lease term.

After they vacate, send them a statement of charges including deductions for the unpaid rent and lawn damages with a balance due.

Something on the property could make for a good vacation or retirement home. 

My goal is to find a distressed property or foreclosure, fix it up and turn it into a short-term vacation rental aka Airbnb. 

I am considering buying a vacation rental property in Daytona.

I enjoy getting outside to hike Utah's beautiful trails, snowboard, and have relaxing days cooking on the grill. 

Part of it also plays into my job, I'm a home inspector and can set my own schedule so if I had less debt I could cut back on how much I had to work and be able to enjoy life more.
