Percale weave is important as they don't pill up like Sateen.Towels - Grandeur Hospitality from Costco.

Which my not be much since tenant is a mess, hard to see damages behind furnitures and pill of clothes. 

You can go to a nutrition class to learn how to eat right and afterwards if you do not actively use what you have learned you will still be fat and doing the same things you were before.One of my favorite sayings is APPLIED ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.You have to make sure the info you are learning is correct and then implement what you learn to get the benefits from it.Just trying to get everyone to understand all these do dads are not the magic pill to defend yourself.I am glad this discussion is at least getting everyone THINKING about self defense whether with weapons or using your body or both.    

We have no debt, and a large cash savings stock-pilled (around $2M).

It’s a really hard pill for me to swallow thinking I will be losing $21-24k in real estate agent fees. 

Definitely agree with Jay on this one, the cost that you would incur to essentially do a refinance-rehab deal, or some kind of a stabilized bridge, you would be charged a few points and third party fees to change lenders and maybe save a point on the interest rate and add a couple of months extension would be a tough pill.

@Alecia LovelessThanks Alesia.Splitting works best when I am here and personally vetting highly compatible tenants while absorbing small inconveniences, I can probably make splitting work if I am at least at a drivable distance although challenging.I have a strong feeling to sell if I am out of state but losing a very low mortgage interest rate and finding another house hacking cash cow in CA in this environment is also a tough pill to swallow.

I think they’re going to raise the rent on me fairly significantly (~10%) the next time the lease renews, which will sort of be a bitter pill to swallow, but had they raised the rent a little every year or two, I’d probably already be paying that amount or more, so I’ll probably get over it.

To pull or not to not to pull a permit equates to "Asking for forgiveness is a hard pill to swallow".

Tough pill to swallow right now for many.
