You would approach your "new real estate partner" with the facts: You've (hopefully) got a record 1/2 undivided interest AND possession and his share is worth much less that 1/2 of ARV due to the following list of reasons...It's no longer a dispute between two spouses and does not have to be emotionally charged or difficult to resolve and attorneys CAN be avoided IF a realistic resolution is agreed upon.Remember: you didn't cause your current seller's problem and they have nothing without your help.

Account ClosedDid you find a resolution to this? 

Hi Lisa,I don't have any advice to offer but my deepest condolences for his losses and yours.That's a lot of added emotional impact on an already difficult business transaction.Praying for wisdom and peaceful resolution for you!

No one here has read your contract and that is what the the resolution will rest upon. 

TYIA :)  @Kaitlyn Beard   Just curious, did you get a resolution?

So we immediately followed up with both inspections for good measure.I don't know what AirBnb will do but if you have proof from two sources and two types of sources confirming no bed bugs I think it would be hard to dispute.  

To appeal, the tenant has to pay the court the entirety of the money due, which the court will hold for you until the resolution of the proceedings. 

We are working with a credit repair program who has advised to reduce credit card debt and open a secured credit card to improve our score in addition to some disputes of inaccuracies. 

I've had wholesale deals run into issues with redemption rights, title issues, earnest money disputes, limited property , hidden material facts, and closing timeline discrepancies.Most of these issues were caused by short sighted business practices, a lack of transparency with sellers, and poorly crafted contracts.

Sorry you had to go through that BS, AirBNB always sides with me on my disputes, I can’t see why they didn’t make them pay some of the money.
