Which is why I wanted to explore some kind of legal recourse.

Looking ahead, once you secure a tenant, perhaps this is something that should be explored to make the next lease up easier.Also, @Caria Mitchell raised an interesting point in saying: We are experiencing a shortage of qualified applicants, I’ve noticed non-conventional applicants vs qualified applicants that don’t have a voucher or some form of subsidy. 

I'm exploring this very seriously right now and will likely do it. 

And you are continuing to invest in real estate a 1031 is a good option to explore. 

Seems like a very strict penalty if this is not followed through.The CTA provides that willfully reporting or attempting to report false or fraudulent beneficial ownership, or willfully failing to report or make updates to the reported data shall be punished with a civil penalty of up to $500/day while the violation continues (up to $10,000) and a criminal penalty of up to two years in prison. 

For example, if your house is valued at $400,000 and you only owe $200,000 on your mortgage, your equity would be $200,000.Why Equity Is Such a Big Deal for Homeowners Looking To SellRecent data from the Census and ATTOM shows how significant today’s home equity really is.

It looks like Privy is a great tool for identifying investment properties by using up to date MLS data.

Now track either housing shortages or for sale supply, or on market data for those same data Points.When you do this, you will question why you are even thinking about the Stock market. 

If you use niche.com you can pretty easily find median home values, median incomes, an some data pretty easily.

I’ll continue to explore a couple other options in the meantime.
