Hey @Andy Yu - echoing what @Eric Hajdu brought up, your best solution for a quick fix is likely going to be to offer a buyout money or cash for keys. 

My kitchen cabinets aren't super old, so painting them would save money (I believe), but Im wondering if it even matters.

She will lose it.They are offering to pay off her $87,000 debt, they will remove the squatter, they will pour money into the property to ensure it sells for the highest value, and then they will give her an additional $240,000.She is getting $327,000 for a property that she is about ready to lose and it's probably affecting her mental stability and physical health.

When I think big picture it may be well worth it if the service saves me more than that amount or helps me generate more than that amount. 

Plus, we have crazy inflation happening naturally due to all the money pumped into the system several years ago.Any there any other obvious reason for the increase in your opinion Henry?

Throw an LLC together with a few people with $1m each, and buy it, San Francisco isn't short of folks who got lucky with this or that IPO and have the money, most of those tech companies have an unofficial employee-maintained slack/discord channel where they talk about real estate stuff.

You will only have one opportunity to get money out of an approved tenant.

Layoffs have started for full time jobs and people want to save money instead of going on vacation, other people can't afford it because they have run up their credit cards because their salaries hasn't matched the rise of inflation for basic goods.

This is DR Horton SFH, and is a newly built single story 4 bed, 2 bath that is surrounded by expensive MI homes. 3) Move into the townhome. 4) Use my $130,000 HELOC as an emergency if rent defaults do happen and save for a year until I reach my emergency fund goal of $41,000?

My other concern is that I'd rather have them amend 2022 as well and have the money now.
