I would also contact the state licensing board.The chances of getting money from him in court are slim, if anything the negative reviews, notices from BBB, notices from the state board, then the notice from the court will force him to come to you to pay the damages and go back to hiding under whatever rock he scurried out from under.  

I checked some properties in Erie, PA where I grew up and inventory for 2-4 units is slim as well.

After all of that, there are only a few slim areas I'm running numbers, just because I know them well enough to feel comfortable and there are enough deals that I can be that picky.

BUT, chances are slim of them leaving the property during this time.

I have noticed it’s slim pickings here I n the Austin market.

I certainly don't want to get in over our heads, but with the Denver market I also realize it's pretty slim pickings for sub 300k homes.

The chances of individuals/sole proprietors getting these RFP’s and tax credits are slim, as they save them for the non-profits and bigger players..but there are some loopholes.Check the city of Providence’s website for RFPs

I’m also worried that once the stimulus checks stop and the rent forgiveness ends vacancy rates will rise making slim profits disappear. 

Chances are very slim but definitely worth a shot! 

If your cashflow is slim or if it would be slim after heloc/refi, then I'd off-load and use the equity to buy cash flowing properties.
