We usually had around 3 other people renting for us and sold the house a few years later as the largest sell price in that neighborhood to that date.

This is typically lower than I aim for but using the proceeds from a 1031 that had massive equity, and given the desirability of this complex, I made an exception. 

I would try to remedy with the tenant and say something like, "oops, looks like you overpaid for a couple of extra weeks...I'll be returning this to you as our lease ends 7/15 so a full months rent isn't necessary to carry us to that point."

We are looking into wineries (Longshadow and Thornton) and a couple of beautiful country clubs at the moment.
