If there is a dispute about who is entitled to the EMD -- which sounds like the case here -- the escrow agent (often the title company) will wait for joint instructions from the parties. 

Anyone have any recommendations for a book on constructing a new apartment complex and not just any other book that speaks like an infomericial, but something that is more of a guideline, with more step by step (high level is ok) instructions.

I would like to keep it as a rental because I have seven within two miles of it already, but worst case is I can put $5k-$8k in and flip it for $110k based on several comps from the area.My bank decided that they would rather not do another manufactured home loan currently so I am looking for other options. 

I have been in real estate for 11 years and in the manufactured housing industry for nearly 21 years.

I haven't done the wage garnishment process yet, but if you win, the court will send you instructions on how to collect (assuming you know where they currently work, and make enough for it to be collectible).A tip I recently learned, if you win in court, ask right then in front of the judge for the tenant to set up a payment plan, $100 per month or something. 

The interesting issue that the court dealt with which is instructive from an asset protection standpoint is related to the Alaska DAPT Statute itself, Alaska § 34.40.110(k), specifically states:“A court of this state [Alaska] has exclusive jurisdiction over an action brought under a cause of action or claim for relief that is based on a transfer of property to a trust that is the subject of this section.”In other words, the Alaska statute purports to have sole control over determining whether any transfers to the trust shall be deemed fraudulent.

Every year I file an annual 5500EZ form for the 401k plan, on which I write the EIN of the business (plan sponsor), not of the plan itself, because that's what the instructions clearly indicate.

(Pardon me while I cough).Although I personally do not agree with that thinking, as brokers, we have a fiduciary responsibility to follow their instruction (as long as they are legal) so we had to change policy across the board.
