No emotion or mind-share dedicated to it.

Tenants will make excuses for why they can't pay rent, usually appealing to our emotional side (I haven't been paid!

This will leach the lime out of the mortar and concrete, weakening the wall over time.

Even if it’s a surprise later, you CANNOT turn him down if he has an emotional support dog.problem for you is that you approved him.With people like this who lie, I usually find another reason to decline him (ex credit, income, tenant reference, criminal history, etc).  

So based on my experience I feel that SFH might be a safer bet since most SFH purchases are off of emotions and most buyers are buying it for themselves to live in vs multifamily is purely off of numbers and might take longer to move. 

If you "love" the home, and make decisions based on your emotions, you're not going to like the advice you receive here.

However, if you anticipate a stagnant or declining market, selling off-market might help you avoid further losses.Ultimately, it's essential to weigh the financial and emotional aspects of your decision.

You need to just let it roll off your back, especially when it is a scenario tied to ex spouses...there is a lot of emotion there, and they are taking it out on you. 

I can't believe you are asking this question...seriously.Let me take the emotions out of this ...("...I do want to build a larger rental portfolio...")...and go straight to the math...with $$$ in front:  (Talking strictly about the house)1 - Rent too high for market (which means the rent is too high and you won't get it).2 - Quick sale can take place.3 - Sale price could be for at least 12 years worth of rent (...gulp!!!...)                   

It's way too easy to fire off something via text or email that's emotional or unnecessary.
