If you have the means to invest in California and are able to wait patiently for the appreciation, then by all means have at it and make a killing, but if you’re losing money monthly and have equity sitting there, why not put it to use in a market that can give you a respectable 12%/15%/20% from day one?

Specialists still need space for patient visits - be a while before telemedicine allows them to examine patients remotely. 

The biggest challenge for me is how to be patient and wait for the right deal or the next market correction....

File a satisfaction of mortgage form with the clerk

True, it does not stop the late payments but you receive some satisfaction of a late fee.This is for habitual late payments...not a once in awhile tenant.

In short, a nothing burger, delivered right after the starving patient has died.

If you get something, great, otherwise, move on and find the next tenant.Lawyers look for money, don't give them the satisfaction of knowing your property is worth a lot!

The person named in the will has to agree to be the executor, cooperate with the probate process, file and obtain capacity, powers and authority with the court, and judge determine the will to be valid in order for said named executor to obtain standing to sell or distribute after satisfaction of creditors, noticing and cost of administration.Since you tell us so very little facts or your position in the matter, that's about all you're going to get without spending your hard-earned money on an attorney.

Proceed with caution and be patient. :)All the very best Alex.

Be patient.
