I still wouldn’t say you’re a good guy in this instance.

I have two options: either sell (to an investor/hoarder) or rent. In the latter case, I can't afford being both the breadwinner for my family and the mortgage for the prior apartment.

What would you suggest I should do in this situation to "be the good guy"?

But, the real massive issue I see here is that big companies and rich douchebags use owning land and housing solely for profit. THAT should be illegal (...)

100% agree with this and the rest.

Well, selling to someone who needs it would be best in my book but yea... You staying the owner is a billion times better than some company or land developer buying it... You're right, no hard feelings
