From reading online, auctions on average only recover up to 37 percent of the owed mortgage.   

especially at the moment when you have a lot of vacancy (may increase further when you enforcing the rules short term). keep in mind vacant unit don't generate income and it's still a great return on investment (full year of rent vs what incentive you offer). that may keep him more motivated. also, I'd personally help with generating leads for new tenant and have manager mainly helping with onsite tasks (showing, move in, etc) for the short term. considering he's 70 years old as you mentioned, he probably are not as effective as using online tools for generating lead (FB marketplace, zillow rental manager, etc)Originally posted by @Cody Furman:Thank you, Bjorn.
