I have a few questions for the community.1) Some of my belongings will remain on the property until 8/31, although I will not be staying there at all, so we've discussed that she will be renting a "room" from me until that time at a heavily discounted price, plus the full cost of utilities as I won't be there.

I decided to rent out my property for top dollar, so to achieve this I decided to rent out my furniture and belongings as well.

He is on a month to month lease and my fear is that if he passes away, what do I do about his belongings.

People just need a place to do laundry, cook, take a shower, drink beer and sleep.

I think going solo gets be longer term appreciation and an asset I owe for cash flow (thinking future retirement) where the syndication route will also get me cash flow and some cash out appreciation, it seems like a shorter play (5-8years on average I think)...  

@Nathan Hann I realize your question was best practices for cash for keys and you were not asking if you should or not but based on what you have written I don't think this option should be on the table.Give 30 days' written noticeHave a cold beer to drink after they verbally assault you.If they are still there after 30 days start the eviction process (have another cold beer waiting).If they trash the place take what you can from the security deposit and take them to small claims court for the rest.

And when we feel bad about ourselves, we do a few things – one is that we convince ourselves that we don’t really want that success, and that we are happy where we are; two, we bury our heads in the sand – we do nothing, or we eat, watch TV, drink, exercise, lots of different things to escape our feelings of inadequacy.We also get into ‘analysis paralysis’ about which direction to go in, which leads us into a vicious cycle of doing nothing, and beating ourselves up even more.When it comes to real estate, it’s hard for some to decide which path to take, and endless ‘How to Get Rich in Real Estate by Doing XYZ’ stories don’t make it easier for us to think clearly and take decisive action.How about we try a different approach, one I use with clients in my coaching capacity?

Tenant is supposed to be out by July 5th, but they moved out sooner than July 5th and left all sorts of belongings behind. 

I would tell her you expect her and her belongings out by midnight on July 3rd.

The drinking water is also no good here.
