Could even be for removal of something in the interior, like gutting related to hazard. substances used on the property (meth cooking, etc.).  

The previous operator put about $70k into remodeling a lounge and cook line.

Well, after seeing the house, I have an update...It's still in perfect condition and I have just acquired 2 beds, 2 couches, a fridge, washer/dryer, 2 desks, a kitchen table, pots and pans, etc.

The business is booming - not just the pot smoking but also the edibles, creams, salves and the list goes on.  

Even had a condo burn completely down because a tenant left a pot on the stove.

@Clint Cook Your ability to discount depends on your local laws.  

Now if I was to talk to the 2nd and 3rd and they agree on settling for 1/2 of their position on the property it would look like thisDelinquent amount and 1st remains the same2nd $ 27,0003rd $ 12,500Total $ 217,500I could sweeten the pot and offer $ 100,000 to the owners for the keys bring my grand total to $ 317,500Comparable sales as of 2-4 months ago is low to high $ 600,000.

But I still think its worth it not to bill.If it makes you feel better, I'll share my recent story for a nightmare bill I was stuck with.Went through my first eviction in Cook county.

A third option would be for each of us to throw more money into the pot.
