So, the judge is going to "punish" you for bringing this before the court? 

@Ned Carey, back east you have punishing property taxes when compared to most of the west.  

Ultimately, they are punishing decent landlords because of the neglect of a few slumlord types.

Contacting their chain of command will get that taken care of real quick as they can actually face punishment within the military under the UCMJ for that as well.

I hate a tax system that punishes people that make a profitSales tax all the way.

As it is not us who would be punished/penalized.

I feel it's only a matter of time before Hawaii says enough is enough and starts punishing out of state owners lol.  

Prepare to be punished by your tenants. 

I can only imagine if I buy another property for a rental it's just going to punish my credit score again even more, so how do people do crazy stuff like buying 18 properties in 18 months with completely demolishing their credit scores?

I'd rather take a nap than analyze 100-200 deals. 3% COC returns are reflected in that and is my punishment.
