Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I would feed comfortable moving forward.

I told her she could buy it, hire a licensed electrician to install at her cost, and have licensed electrician replace with original light upon moving out, also at her cost.I will note that in general, while you are always able to be nicer to your tenants, and there are times I think this is worthwhile, if you are not required to under NYC laws, I would not set precedent that you do these things for the tenant at any out of pocket cost or work for you.  

I won't shy away from rough neighborhoods, but bigger margins are needed to move them fast. 

Which they move out when they sell to you. 

Also, we’re certainly outgrowing our duplex unit as we’re a growing family so finding something larger to move into wouldnt be too bad.

Network, Connect, Learn, and Make Moves! 

Even in the worst areas cash tenants are IMO worse than HUD tenants.Restrictions of Section 8 Tenants There are unlimited, everywhere.Don’t Receive Voucher Payment Until Tenant Moves In SO?

On average, 80 people move into Columbus weekly.

I'll test moving price down a bit and see if that raises any interest.

There are many buyers who purchased in 2020 to mid 2022 who may owe more on their home than it is worth and need help to move on.I recently purchased a home with an assumable loan in November of 2023 with a 3.08% interest rate during a time when new loans were being written at over 7.5%!!
