As an alternative, I proposed buying a nice 3/2/2 that she and a couple of friends (also young medical professionals) could rent from me.

This can be either because they are not yet starting families or because they have alternative ideas regarding education (private schools, coops, homeschooling, etc.).

There is $1.2T in un-tapped resources here, and 6 million holding it looking for an alternative investment!!

Not sure if anyone has experience with these setups but it sounds like a good alternative to paying the $20k-$50k.

I am thinking of using them as an alternative to renting my place to a regular leased tenant.Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

The alternative is to carry something on your balance sheet at what is clearly an incorrect valuation for years or decades, which is clearly more of a distorting factor than any error introduced by valuing it incorrectly at year's end.

The alternative is "specific performance".

I'm not necessarily looking for a value increase by doing this by I believe the tiny master and unused basement are a bit of a turnoff compared to the alternative.

Hanford nuclear facility is here.

Doing extensions ad infinitum seemed unreasonable so there seemed to be no other alternative than to go with the cancellation.
