Picking up a 2nd job, not going out with friends as much and avoid making frequent 'empty' purchases (ie: expensive shoes and clothes) are examples of sacrifices you can make in order to reach your financial goals quicker.#4)  Start working towards your goal(s) as soon as possible.

In turn your tenants expect you to honor their one year lease (or whatever the duration).Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel if 6 months into your lease the landlord was trying to get you to leave because it was more convenient for the landlord and his financial goals? 

If I am in your shoes I go through with the sale and start my BRRRR journey with the next property.

If I'm in your shoes, some of the resources that I would use would be:1.

@Joe Xie let me make this simple for you: as the new owner, you are basically stepping into the shoes of the old owner when it comes to dealing with the tenant.

I'd be grateful for getting $300 back.I know it's hard in your shoes to see that owners have real costs when people back out but they are real.  

I was in your shoes 6 months ago.

If I were in your shoes I would buy a larger house with at least 4 bedrooms, occupy one of the rooms and rent the other rooms out to friends.

I can relate to your post on this as I was in your shoes only a few months ago figuring out everything before graduating - it can feel stressful at times!

If I were in your shoes, I'd either sell (return on equity) or hold onto the home if the location is great.
