Post: Looking for an Attorney to Sue Tenants

I just had some tenants move out of one of my rentals. They allowed their pets to urinate throughout the house. I've had the old carpet and pad removed, floors sealed, and new carpet & pad installed. Now it seems that the basement is infested with bedbugs. Soooo...I'm looking at $5000-6000 in repairs.
Has anyone had success suing tenants for damages to their property? Recommendations?

I have two properties rented at $2K. With the additional pet deposit, the security deposits are both well over $2000 each. Renters didn’t have any problems with that at all

Thanks for the reply, and sorry I didn't think to search before I posted my question. I have a specific property in mind. Can I contact you directly? If so, please just send me a message.

Hello All,
Can a property be bought while it is still in probate (in Colorado, to be specific)? Who would be the best resource, a real estate attorney or a probate attorney? BTW, I'm looking at buy and hold rather than fix and flip on this one.

Post: Down Payment Choice - Refi or HELOC?

When I moved two years ago, I turned my old SFH into a rental and currently have a $400/month positive cash flow from that property. I recently did a ELOC on that property for the down payment on a third property and I'm making about $250/month on that one.
I currently owe about $170K on my primary residence that is worth around $250-260K. I'd like to purchase another property (yes, I have the bug!). Which makes more sense to get another down payment, refi my current 30-year 4% loan and take a cash-out, or get a HELOC?
Thanks in advance.
