The taxes were not paid for 2015 or 2016 and the only address listed is in the tax records is the homes physical address. 

Although I'm not physically in Syracuse right now, I've lived there for several years and bought my first house within Syracuse city last year.

I know that there is a point that I need to walk away from the property, but I want to exercise my mind by trying to come up with other solutions. 

.;-)You physically don't have room to make this space function. 

I give every single way I can think of to contact me, including a phone number that I answer every time it rings, email and physical address. 

Nice post Account Closed- in my experience (nobody has exercised so far on mine) and from what I've read, the % of TBs that actually exercise and purchase LOs is really low.  

You seem to be glossing over the physical toll many trade jobs can take on the body.  

I estimated the expenses at 12% more than the yearly expenses on my other existing property (which is 9 years old, also 3 units, same # of BRs, overall same physical condition, same neighborhood).

While working the first day on my first job I realized that I was destined to become an entrepreneur I just did not know how to start without any money and my own social anxiety.Now seven years later, I joined BiggerPockets for real estate investments I am willing to trade physical labor if I have to just for knowledge and friends in the real estate business. 

But then, it's always understood that NONE of the rent/lease payments go towards the purchase price - until the Buyer exercises their Option by getting financing and paying out the Seller - or, losing their Fee by just leaving or continuing to rent, or, renewing their Option with its new Fee.
