If they need to move, make it easy for them to leave by releasing them from their lease obligations without penalty.

At that point, I'd recommend raising rents and providing proper (and even extended notice) of the rental increase.  

We just released the February report last week.

Then, the seller who had just lost their house had to approve releasing my money.

As some of you may, or may have not heard, the Fed has extended the TALF program til June 30th of next year.Here's the meat and taters of it.The Federal Reserve extended by three to six months an emergency program aimed at restarting credit markets, a move that may cushion the commercial real- estate industry from rising defaults and falling prices.The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, with a capacity of as much as $1 trillion, will expire June 30 for newly issued commercial mortgage-backed securities, instead of Dec. 31, the Fed and U.S.

Maybe that's not the case in your town, but it will be scaring many investors with retail properties.Perhaps try speaking with your current landlord to renegotiate your lease (extend and reduction). 

@Steven Wilging Your situation is very easy, you can blue tape all the poor work, give the contractor a chance to finish it (in CA, this is a requirement - to extend and exhaust all possibilities before arbitration).

Also, since the tax filing deadline for 2019 has been extended, you can still make your 2019 contributions to both accounts up until July 15th.

Assuming this 4plex is always rented and you never have any extended vacancies ...If this is your investment, DO NOT GO INTO DEBT FOR LANDSCAPINGIf this is your forever home and your investment, DO NOT GO INTO DEBT FOR LANDSCAPINGIf this is first and foremost your forever home and only in small measure your investment, if your tenants are more like your friends than your tenants, and you really really really want a nice lawn, PAY FOR LANDSCAPING BUT DO NOT GO INTO DEBT FOR LANDSCAPING.Put simply, going into debt for landscaping is like taking out a HELOC to get your nails done.

@Nicholas Moran - Perhaps extending the time period out or extend the difference.
