The buyer refused to continue paying Notes through the Bankruptcy Court, abandoned the house and filed criminal charges against me for theft of the house Notes, which has resulted in a pending criminal case in Louisiana.Question is, if under Louisiana Law I can't charge someone criminally for not paying a monthly Note contracted on my real estate that is owed to me. 

At times I feel that is the case in NYC.

Everyone assumes losing your EMD is an option that releases your liability and thats simply not the case in most instances.

(in my case in CA)Any tips are greatly appreciated!

I could see a minimum fee of $100 being the case in a market like Sacramento, however. 

Maybe you need an advocate they know, like is surely the case in zoning court.

Case in point: the stock market had a record setting one day loss after the 9/11 attacks, one month later it was back to its pre 9/11 numbers.

Worst case, in order to get a loan (preferably FHA) I might ask dear ol’ dad to co-sign as he does have consistent (much higher) income.

As a plus I see appreciation of properties in this market.Here we are talking about $5.5k a month (Based on Redfin: Principal and Interest $3,619 + Property Taxes $812 + HOA Dues $495 + Homeowners' Insurance $146 + Mortgage Insurance $474)What I dislike about it: HOA fees that are getting from 300 up to 500$ a month; In case in a few years getting job in the city (SF) the commute will be terrible so I will have to rent out this place and rent something closer to my job in the city.2 - Buy some property out of state with 20% down (up to 300k house with 60k down) and try to cashflow from it.

Once you get down into the smaller unit count, price per unit/door will usually be the driver for price, which appears to be the case in this property.
