@Thadeous LarkinPerhaps look into refi your current when you can do a new VA, equity and cf position if rented.  

The current tenant has been living and maintaining the property.

I would consider that a material fact if the intention was clear that you were going to maintain this as a rental property, however if you do legal battle with them I don't know how much you'd realistically get.

Zero maintenance and well maintained.

Andre Rembert - you can theoretically wholesale if you get a mls listing under contract for a lot below asking price and you’re buying it as an LLC or in an assignable contract (you sell your position as the buyer).

Should I start with one or both positions?  

Having such a large amount of negative equity and they could call you before that mean letter if you feel positively about their market value that can be more appetizing with a decent offer over their high negative equity.Good luck to you!

Getting good at the math will ensure positive cash flow.As you learn you’ll start to narrow your focus.

This is both a positive and a negative.

Well, although I maintain a home in LA, pay California taxes and all that, I actually work in China.
