I live in San Diego and it's practically impossible to get a good ROI. 

If there's sufficient equity in any of your properties, it's worth considering the potential returns from deploying that capital elsewhere.

Hi Josh, Additionally, consider building conservative assumptions into your financial projections to account for potential market fluctuations, economic uncertainties, and unforeseen challenges.

Cutting down trees and painting cornices and window frames white can greatly improve the appearance of the property and attract potential tenants or buyers.

While this house was a mess, I could tell it had potential and was in a great area!

What do the numbers look like on a potential sale?

Hey @Fadela Zaoui - if its a court ordered sale... unlikely sellers would entertain seller financing, but the answer's always no unless you ask :) I recommend working with your broker to figure out what the sellers really want - sounds like one of the sellers wants to cash out so they may not be the person that wants to do seller financing BUT the other seller may be open to it.You could also potentially look at a joint venture option where you just buy out the seller that wishes to sell her portion, and partner up with the other equity holder who now gets to retain their piece of the pie. 

Many people refinance out of FHA into conventional to remove PMI and potentially use their FHA loan again on another property.

If the dog is doing well, leave it alone.I will recommend you change your practice.

She could sell the stock and use those losses to offset some (or all) of her gains.Invest in opportunity zones - Likely a qualified opportunity fund - This could defer and potentially reduce the capital gains but there will be hoops to jump through and rules to followHold the note when selling the property - Spread out the capital gains over a predetermined mortgage period.
