@Alicia Marks

Hi guys! David, your BRRRR book was my first intro into BiggerPockets and I listen to it once a year. Thanks!

My wife and I started 5 years ago and have 3 SFHs, one under contract, and a four plex. We're dealing with our second "got behind, trashed the place, and might have to be evicted" situation (in a SFH). Beyond the rent they owe, I want to sue them for the damage they've caused to the house. Broken window, kicked in glass exterior door, and busted up interior barn door.

Is it worth it to try and sue for damages? The emotional side of me is so angry that they damaged a house I put a lot of work and TLC into, and that between damage and lost rent, basically a year of profits from the house will be wiped out, but the logical side of me thinks I may be throwing good money at bad. Can you discuss the topic of late rents, evictions, and to sue or not to sue?

PS - ideas for the podcast: I loved the live question format you guys did a one-off of. It reminded me of a Dave Ramsey episode. I loved hearing other peoples situations and questions. I love everything you guys do. Thanks!!
