Increasing rent, food, gas, taxes ect. are a fact of life that we have to deal with.Are you running a business or a charity?

Feeling sorry for someone, getting excited or rushed, or having any emotion at all has no place in tenant screening, this is a business not a charity and not following good guidelines you should have set in place in advance is recipe for loss of income.

Donate the property with the now lower lien amount to a charity and get the tax deduction (50% of the value of the property?)

Let me pose this question, how many people on here give back to their communities, have you donated some sweat equity, give some money to a charity, even said a kind word to a homeless guy/ gal on the street.My personal opinion is that these political parties are set up to keep people under control and thats it.... everyone was so happy and filled with hope for obama now he's going to be the death of our america; there is no our america its is and always will be changing; john f. kennedy faced hell to get elected because he was catholic and it was though he was going to be taking orders from the pope, now he's looked back on with rose tinted glasses.People fight so hard against education and understanding the world outside of their little box; i've seen programs where people would shout burn the books but leave our bible alone; people still thinks the sun revolves around the earth, or don't know where the sun goes at night. . . its not about democrats or republicans i'm sure most of you guys know that those parties basically flipped during the civil rights era; i often hear people say were the party of abraham lincoln really what does that mean, in todays world it means nothing!

If you want to be successful in real estate, treat it for what it is, a business, not a charity.

I would be generous and give her up to six months to find a low-income housing solution or something.This is business and not a charity.

We're not a charity business." 

I point this out because your email implies we are a charity case instead of respectful adults and I am not going to engage in an email war of insults.

Im pretty sure the guy took 30% of every pay check and payed himself and a charity first.

there may be items you can sell. or maybe scrap metal . look before you discard, you could be throwing money away. or contact a charity group maybe they would take some of it off your hands.
