Curious what people do in this circumstance. thanks for your input! 

I wish there were more people in your shoes!

I advise people to hold property forever unless they can move the money into another investment that produces a greater return or moves them closer to their goals.

., they have re-zoned my property as residential/commercial use which evidently was their solution for people not getting the permits but puts me into an entirely different tax structure. 

They are rarely as big a deal as most people think....

How come none of the brokers found the best deal for me and how could I help other people get the best rate for a mortgage.

I only own one rental unit (this one) and don't accept people who have been evicted, but I would not accept someone in a current eviction proceeding either.

(Also on airbnb there are options to actually rent a set up tent which sounds weird but people do it.)Fourth:  Set up a youtube channel, which is free. 

Use places like BiggerPockets Real Estate Forums and join local REIA groups to learn and meet new people.

Some people have different goals in mind when going into it.
