If you need the lawyer's name let me know.So now I'm sitting on owning an empty lot and still making loan payments.

Contingency lawyers are not interested because of Arbitration clauses in the contract.

The insurance Lawyers will handle the litigation as long as you followed procedures and documented.  

I ended up connecting with a lawyer who has handled other issues for me and she said basically I waited too late in the month to start the eviction process and to sit tight as it seemed the tenant was actually moving out, but if they weren't out by designated day, circle back to start a formal eviction.What actually happened is that the tenant moved out on the date indicated and left some trash but the unit was generally clean and left in good shape.

You will spend more in lawyer fees than the amount.

CPA's are not lawyers, google howey test.

Hiring a lawyer is a lot more.

I always recommend we carry liability protection that at least matches the value of the assets that any lawyer can easily find to ensure that the insurance policy is the first line of defense rather than liquidate assets to pay for a settlement.Of course, if you can separate the ownership, it becomes more complicated and harder to "pierce the corporate veil" to drag other assets you manage into the mix.

And btw, any lawyer can sue you if they wanted so don’t think you’re bullet proof with an LLC.

The closing deadline is next week, so I don't think it's gonna happen before that, but still - if it can take less than the standard 2 years, which it might take per the lawyer - that would be a relief for me.
