The (less appealing, for sure) alternatives are just to hold it for a few more months and/or sell it below value.

The important thing to do is to ask a lot of questions, check out alternate ways, find what is best for you and then make it happen - no one will make it happen but yourself so lace your boots up and make it happen!

Alternatively, are you able to add your own doorbell camera?

Alternatively, I'd find a local investor who can complete this deal and bring it to them.

Unfortunately even if you find the lender an alternative appraiser, they are only allowed to pick from their pre-determined list, as opposed to one you provide for them.

It alternates between sending insults and demanding his money back.Despite our detailed accounting explaining the numbers, in 100+ texts, he has not given any reason as to why he thinks he should get more money refunded nor stated an amount.

Not my preference, but the alternative is paying crazy prices only to have my phone blow up from angry tenants anyways every time it snows.Your best bet is to find some college student who wants to make some money as a side hustle and hire them.

@Sandy EugeneIf the money is in your current employer plan and you saved the money from working for your current employer, you generally can't take the funds out of your 401k until you quit your job.As an alternative to taking a distribution from your 401k, consider the following:If you are self-employed (i.e. active self-employment earned income separate from your w-2 income) with no full-time w-2 employees, you can set up a Solo 401k and then rollover your 401k funds once you leave your current job.You could then take a loan of up to 50% of the balance not to exceed $50,000.

I was recently introduced to a great alternative. 

Alternatively, I could just make a new closet a bit wider in the same place as the demolished one to make up for loss of depth and keep the space on the right of the closet.
