Hi,I feel your pain about this.

It can be a pain and more costly in terms of accounting, but if you can't incur the additional cost, you should not be putting yourself at risk.Gino

in 10-15 years you could have 2-4 properties >$1M just by using your own monthly housing payment to fund it.moving is painful, living with others is painful, high rates are painful.

If the court is satisfied that it would be for the best interests of the estate, it may authorize the executor or administrator to complete the contract and to execute and deliver to the purchaser the instruments that are required to make the order of the court effective.as stated "it may authorize the executor or administrator to complete the contract"Thay presupposes someone has become the executor or administrator,Si amego?  

Just think of all the grief, anxiety and pain they have put you through with this whole situation.

then start selling the ones that have upcoming major repairs in the next 5-10 years or the ones that are a biggest pain to deal with/make the least amount of money from rent.

-Administrative Burden: Managing substantial services may require more administrative work and potentially higher costs in terms of time and resources.Some investors do use creative strategies to maximize tax benefits, but this particular approach of converting long-term rentals into an active business reported on Schedule C while providing substantial services is less common.

I would say it depends on if the property is a pain and what your long term goals are.

And that is VERY painful for me to say because I LOVE HD, and go there for almost all of our rehab projects.However, if you are leaning toward the White cabinets, I would suggest that you compare to Lowes. 

Will a democratic administration eventually try to pass a national rent control?
