They saved you the hassle of getting rid of old appliances is one to look at it.

If it was me, on bathroom 1 I would get rid of the small window between tub & vanity; change the vanity top to something more coordinated with the tub tile; install a mirror that's the width/almost the width of the vanity; change the flooring to something that coordinates better.

If your current home you live in is an FHA, have you thought about refinancing into a conventional loan since you'll have to down the road anyways to get rid of MIP?

do you think Hawaii will ever get rid of it? 

@Mike WestonAgree that it would have been better getting rid of this tenant before closing.

It's robbing Peter to pay Paul, just pay extra on the mortgage if that's what you want to be rid of. 

Get rid of them, find someone that can handle ordinary noise from a kid.

I was able to negotiate this deal because the family member was looking to get rid of the property.

I look at each asset, if it is not going to perform positively then maybe get rid of it, and invest in something else.Since you are overseas, find a Realtor that you like, that thinks like you, that will tell you the bad news, and ok with you walking away from deals that are bad.
