Can you imagine how long it will take for insurance companies to settle claims and pay off policy holders?  

I've been mulling it over and trying to articulate to myself what I'm really looking for and I guess what I've most recently settled on is if a deal works that will give me better total return for the money and the time, then I'll call it a good deal.

Conversely, if one side of the house sits on unconsolidated fill or on silt, it would settle or shift over time - once again, causing cracking.

Hi Drewi met with a woman today looking for a rentalShe is considering a $2000 mo lease from a friend for a comparable size home to this in north LondonI have another tenant who isn’t ready to settle down also looking for a rental.

When they do, they are typically covered by insurance and settled outside of court.The odds of a landlord being sued for a large enough amount that it eats up their insurance, the equity in the investment, and their personal assets is almost non-existent.

And in states that allow deposits and then settle up competition is higher as the price of entry is so low 5 to 20k deposits to bid.. now if you dont finalize you lose the money and can be fined as its illegal to bid and not close.

Given the details you provided, I personally might not want to settle this in mediation with this tenant however as I'd probably just want a judge to cut through the BS and tell them to pay up and get out at this point.

I may have an unpopular opinion for Austin Market but i think hype is going down and things are settling down still not to pre pandemic levels, probably wont happen due to influx of people that moved in.My understanding is more people will move out than move in to Austin next few years but that is with in circles i know not necessarily representation of austin market. 

Home could've settled and nothing further to do or you could be seeing a bigger issue at hand that the seller needs to fix.

So a lot has happened since I last updated you all, well not too much has happened, I've settled into my personal home that I bought, renovated it and for the first time in my life have a place to call home that I actually OWN!!!
