The listing has been live for 180 days and has yet to sell through my real estate agents.

As rates drop further and the spring/summer selling season will push values higher. 

You could choose to not renew their lease and start construction now with a detached ADU and a JADU attached to the original house, then in 3 years go for the lot split.I went this route because the resulting 2 lots will sell for much more than 1 lot with 4 units.

It'll reach out to seller's until they are ready to schedule an appointment to sell. 

If it sells they will not let it carry forward. 

The plan is to sell every 4/5 years and reinvest to double your portfolio at that time.

I did not negotiate as this was when nearly all homes were selling above list so I was grateful to even get it at asking.

I can get into a nice house and have equity for when I sell or if I do a HELOC.

We are looking at selling our home, taking some equity to pay off the debt, and effectively start over.

It is quicker not to do the check but you are getting a lot of non-health care people these days and they don't have backgrounds done by the employer so you are safer requiring them.
