@Jarrod Patterson  Depends on the reason for the temporary need from a local, also you have to screen financials some of these people may not be viable candidates even if they think they are.   

People still tell me I should never touch my retirement account $ to buy RE, but I disagree.

Lot of young people living at home with parents looking to get out from under parents roof. 

If you want to be completely hands-off, why keep the property?

Why do people not understand this? 

Plus with current interest rates, people with a high mortgage (eg 80% of the home's value) won't have much cash flow.

Use each property or client as an opportunity to get into more conversations and add more people to your database.

For loan mortgage purposes and if it ever gets sold, other people may not use that same strategy.

Any responses from California SB 9 savvy people will be greatly appreciated.  

So I am considering two options:(1) HIre a contractor to hand off to finish the project.(2) Sell it as-is.If I go with option #2, obviously it cannot be a normal sale as the property is not habitable in it's current state, so cannot be mortgaged nor insured.
