In most cases they are not paying monthly payment, so cash up front for what could be one of the most important settlements of their life should be a no brainer..

Cashflow Quadrant is great for developing a framework on how to think about investing, specifically using assets to buy/offset liabilities.

Then there is the magnificent duo of Peter Andrews (https://casetext.com/case/wiedis-v-dreambuilder-invs-llc) and the lovely Madden family (can't find any court records at the moment but I personally know one attorney who is in settlement discussions w/the Maddens for non-payment of fees, as well as 3 sets of investors who have been treated by the Maddens similarly to the way Ryan has been).  

During the gap between the eviction and the Sheriff showing up, I got a call from the tenants girlfriend saying that the tenant had just won a large disability settlement and if I didn't have him evicted and just waited another month I'd get all my back rent and all costs, etc., and if I would consider this, she'd get the lawyer to call me.

However, we are committed to continuously enhancing this strategy, and we would love to learn from other members of the BP community about their remote leasing frameworks.  

I was at his office today for a property settlement. 

Settlement lawyers I have come across use agent to buy, I will not go to any state that I am unlicensed in and buy without an  agent.

My lawyer is hoping to argue that against them but it seems like the most likely route is settlement, which means I'm paying thousands of dollars for nothing.

Is it a formal education framework? 

Even after settlement, it took nearly 1 year to be paid.
