Joel and Winnie must recognize $50,000 of the gain realized on the sale of Winnie’s residence.

Finally, don’t let your pride get in the way of recognizing that you may have misjudged your numbers.

Things like having the court recognize who the executor is, the filing of the initial listing of assets, etc.

@Derron Taqee you ask a terrific question.Two things I notice when I meet newbies that prevent them from making themselves valuable.1) I don't know how to calculate the real numbers required to recognize what a sellable "deal" is.2) They don't know how to control a deal and put a property under contract.I respectfully disagree with the "build you buyers list first approach".

In more competitive housing markets, buyers are recognizing the value they have by being unrepresented, and are going directly to the seller/listing agent.* SIDE NOTE: The above situation is why many listing agents will try to find a buyer before placing the listing on the MLS (so they don't have to split the 6% with buyer agents), known as a "pocket-listing". 

.- The seller absolutely refuses to evict anyone themselves (I've asked twice), though they recognize that the sale will mean someone gets evicted. - I have enough for a conventional loan, but just barely.

His perspective is different than yours and thats okay but he needs to recognize that he is speaking about investing with HIS goals in mind and forcing those upon you by asserting this absolution.  

Everyone keeps saying i'm sitting on a gold mine aka retirement plan I finally had to work past the emotions of losing my family and recognizing how lucrative rental property can be.

Don't expect people to recognize what is great about this house from some pictures or a video.

I recognize this, so I'm trying to resolve it.
