The way you get rid of all of this is to have a business and not a charity.

That is not an investment, it's a charity and you should mentally burn that money.

Kelly never buy into the sales trap of an investor telling you to take a small fee today for the chance at a higher return on the back end.The back end payoffs are great but you need to MAXIMIZE return today just like the investor is doing on their property.A broker/agent has a business to run and not a charity.

Obviously since my business is not a charity, I need to be competitive, cut costs and work efficient. 

Some thoughts would be donating the property to a charity or contact the surrounding property owners to see if they have any interest in the property.

If you feel like giving charity write her a check or donate money to a charity that will help fix her problems.   

You got into the landlording business to make money, it is a business not a charity.

Offer to make a contribution of $5000 to Wounded Warriors or a charity of his choice and do so in his name. 

He's not a charity.

Not a charity.
