What type of relationship have you kept with your buyers? If its been over 7 years,perhaps some of them are ready to sell at this point too? See if they're ready to upgrade or down grade? and most importantly ask for their referral.

How many bedrooms is your current rental unit ? Are you able to get roommates to help you offset the cost of your rental ? Are you able to sublease ?

What about the neighborhood? is it a desired location? School system? How long long to homes typically stay on the market for in that area? These questions might play a factor on price as well.

What do you currently do now? You can always get a license and put it referral meaning you're not active, but are referring business to agents and collect a fee. You can also be an active agent in one state and refer business to an agent in a different state and collect a fee that way too.
There's time, money and energy that goes into getting your license. If you feel that this is something that will benefit you in the long run then, why not. It's better than regretting not doing so in the long run.

Quote from @Nadir M.:
Hello BP,
Wanted to get everyone’s opinion on what they would do in this situation. My current tenant said that the toilet is clogged again. Had it opened about 3-4 weeks ago and the reason was too much TP. I told him that they need to dispose of TP in the closed trash waste basket. If it happens again due to too much TP then the cost will be on the tenant. So it happened again…and it due to too much TP. He said that it’s unsanitary and gross to place TP in waste basket and that I should have included that in the lease that can’t flush TP. So I’m going to send him the bill but doubt he will pay and doubt that this issue will be resolved because they’ll continue to flush TP down the toilet. How would you guys handle this? What’s the recommendation? I’m okay with telling them to break the lease and I’ll give them their deposit back minus the cleaning fee.
Any thoughts/feedback is greatly appreciate Thank you
Yep I would not do this if I was a tenant. I have been to some islands where you need to do this and I was like - no thanks.
Have you had a camera go down the drain? What I would do is get a camera down the waste line, share it with them and let them know. Thenif it clogs and its because of too much TP then charge them. They will eventually learn. If its because the home is old, that is more on you in that instance.
Well the plumber went there twice and said clog was due to TP. He said the pipes are fine. I told him the second occurance if it’s due to TP again then it’s on him. If the house is too old then I’m not sure what I can do. I guess break the lease and have him find a newer home? Waste cans with lids that manually open and shut I thought were standard. I was always told and told others that TP or baby wipes are not to be flushed. I get flushing it down the toilet if you’re on an island for sure, but not when you’re renting a single family home and it’s your family.
You mentioned they have kids, so they probably used a diaper pale before which is more or less the same concept as putting tp in a trash can. I guess a question to consider other than something that can be easily solved if they're willing to is: are they decent/good tenants? How long have they lived in the unit? Do they pay their rent on time? Other than this unfortunate issue, do they generally take care of the property?
