@Kyle Knudsen  I agree with Denver, with a 1031 you must move all the proceeds to a new "like kind" property. 

North side: Avondale, west logan square, albany park, rogers parkSouth side: Bronzeville, brighton park, mckinley park, bridgeport, west half of pilsenI agree with “trend is your friend” and avoid areas that might but havnt popped off.

I'd likely just agree to break the lease with a couple months of rent as a penalty rather than force these people to continue being tenants in my property....you never know what will happen to the condition of the property.

I totally agree that most agents are horrible negotiators.

Quote from @Patrick Paige: @Allen Duan Has a great point that I fully agree with (look at from tenant's perspective).

Assuming your property is in Utah (like your profile indicates), here's the state law from a basic internet search:In Utah, a tenant who abandons a rental property without notice is liable for the lesser of the following: The rent remaining on the leaseThe rent plus the difference between the fair rental value and the agreed-upon rentThe cost to restore the property to its original conditionThe landlord can also remove the tenant's belongings and sell them if the tenant doesn't claim them within a reasonable time.

I absolutely agree with @David Krulac.

I’ll agree with you in general but that is only a portion of the reason.1.  

I've spent the last 3 years nagging the city to sell me a lot next to my property so I can install a driveway and they've finally agreed.

They ain’t done appraisal or nothing this would be our first time going to court  I agree with Sherry.
