Removal was 5,000 , then an additional 3,000 for an inspection and lawyers.

@Sydney McCloudYou can speak with a lawyer for a few minutes and they will tell you the risks / pros cons  Here is who I recommend to our investor clients around Reno Tahoe.  

He also talked to a lawyer who said what I was doing was unlawful.

I'd have a lawyer review your case.

I have a lawyer friend that specializes in EB-5 investment she works for a international real estate developer.

I agree to repay any duplicative assistance as directed by the Agency.Nothing in this Agreement precludes the owner/agent from using any and all remedies available under law, including the institution of eviction proceedings against the Applicant, if the Applicant fails to pay any future rent due after the date of this award or otherwise violates the terms of tenancy.I reached out to my lawyer, who told me rudely that he wasnt contracted to advise on this, and i offered to pay, but never heard back.

It would be very helpful if any of you can help me find expert on code violation and tenant law: expediter or real estate lawyer. 

Gonna give a lawyer answer.

I didn't budge and declined additional credits.They finally sent a termination notice but checking with their lawyer regarding request of earnest money. 

He said after the house went into contract is basically on the lawyer's hands.
