I predict this will end in a financial blood bath. 

The insurance company was pretty reasonable to work things out with even though it did not start out that way, and they did have my blood pressure up considerably!

That is not constructive, makes for bad blood and the last thing you need is a $5,000 eviction.Your tenants have not responded, because they don't know how.

Couple with it the dramatic increase in currency in circulation caused by runaway spending by politicians of both parties and you get even higher inflation.

I put my own sweat and blood into making the interior and exterior beautiful!

One massive cause of inflation is the amount of currency in circulation.

Risk factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc, can be silent killers. 

Require blinds are opened and furniture is away from walls to help with circulation. 4.

The harsh reality is that deficit spending to meet interest obligations will accelerate, further reducing the purchasing power of existing USD in circulation and USD savings. 

Unless you are out $25,000 - $50,000, there is no spread in the time it would take for an attorney to try to get blood from a stone, a broke stone.You should be speaking with the realtor who recommended the contractor as it was their recommendation that put you in this situation.
