If you have lived in the unit for 2 out of the five years (and married even better) you may have the ability to avoid a large taxable gain on the sale - thus getting LIQUID and ready to bargain hunt WHEN not IF the Downturn happens. 

This can help avoid future evictions.Hope that helps!

You want to be in control if there's future issues and to avoid a costly Unlawful Detainer action - - you can give a 30-quit and be done with it.I favor a full CR and look at the 30,60,90 lates and the collections - - want ZERO within the last 6 months.

-to avoid the whole building vacant at once, for paying tenants (if any) you may want to take 30 day notices (end of tenancy) one unit at a time (start with most under-market rent or least well kept apt) - some folks may start to pay more promptly given your actions!
