It's not an ethical issue but a legal one at this point.You're running a business. 

There is a recycling company one block away and a waste water treatment a mile away.

If the property is sold at a loss, however, Section 1231 treatment is generally preferable to capital gain treatment because a net Section 1231 loss reduces ordinary income.

Not sure if it would be ethical for a new tenants to have them sign a NNN lease while we have the intention of selling. 

@Fradel Barber - there's a broker I've used for my properties in the past and have referred a number of clients to them due to their competitive rates and ethical nature.

I can be somewhat fastidious and some times dwell on small details, however, it is from a source of determination and a strong work ethic to strive for excellence. 

Agents and Brokers in CA are constantly going over new laws, regs, ethics, etc.  

You accepted condition of building / unit when you took over..Wear and tear on carpet this age is ridiculous,, it's has no appreciable life left.You could charge him if he broke a window since your ownership, or that type of damage,, but anything nicotine damaged from your point of ownership is pointless in trying to recover any damages from this tenant.Any why you would have DEEP CLEANED a carpet that was in this type of unit was a waste of your money.You will not get rid of the smoke smell until you wall wash with TSP all walls, woodwork, windows, then prime coat walls with KILZ,, clean all filters, any vents spray inside after washing out as best possible with spray kilz,, don't try to save any window treatments. 

They do this because they get preferential treatment on their accounting books as an expense versus owning an asset.This also frees up capital for them to re-image a current location, build more stores, or re-locate a property to a better site.

Hi everyone, wanted to share with you a great way to tap into the equity built from your ADU.The problem today: most appraisers used by traditional lenders would give ADU square footage a second-class treatment than the main house (as some of your mentioned above) since there aren't that many comps and they're trying to be conservative.However, you can consider taking out a HELOC/doing cash-out refi through Figure.com (HELOC up to $250k, Cash-out refi up to $1M).
